To protect his soldiers and supply lines, General Wayne extended his deliberate line of forts northward, and garrisoned each with freshly trained legionaries. This chain of frontier forts eventually reached far north towards Lake Erie and closely resembles the modern border of Ohio and Indiana. It included more permanent garrisons such as Fort Recovery, which was built on the site of St. Clair's defeat, and Fort Defiance. It also included more temporary camps such as Fort Adams and Fort Deposit. Finally, the Wayne had the Legion construct Fort Wayne to assert U.S. sovereignty over the large Native American city at Kekionga. Following British withdrawal from the Northwest Territory, the Legion also occupied Fort Lernoult (Detroit).
