FIRSTAMERIC AN
LEGION LED BY
‘MAD ANTHONY’
CAMP PIKE, Ark., July 12 (by As
sociated Press).—The first “American
Legion” was founded in 1792, and its
existence, by that name, terminated
in 1796. War department records
show' that when the regular army was
reorganized in 1792, following the rev
olutionary wrar, it was first officially
designated the “Legion” and was di
vided into four “sub-legions,” of w'hich
the Fourth United States infantry
was a part.
The idea of designating the United
States army as the legion originated
with General Knox, secretary of war
under George Washington. The army
was patterned after the Roman legion,
the old military organization under
which Julius Caesar and his succes
sors conquered as much of the world
as was then known.

manded by General Anthony Wayne
(“Mad Anthony”) and was organized
under his direction at Pittsburg, Pa.,
in May, 1782. President Washington
instructed General Wayne “do not
spare powder and lead, so that the
men be made marksmen.” The Legion
fought its only battle as a legion at
Miami Rapids in the Kentucky-Ohio
Indian country, August 20, 1794, engag
ing a force of hostile Indians. In 1796,
it having been decided that the Roman
formation was not suitable for fight
ing Indians, the Legion was disbanded
and reorganized into four regiments
of infantry.
