Buildings at Historic Old Fort in Fort Wayne, Indiana -- a faithful copy of the post built by American troops under the command of Major John Whistler in 1815-1816. The original complex, designed to be easily defended against Indian attack by a garrison of only 50 to 75 men at a time when northern Indiana was part of the American frontier, was among the most sophisticated all-wooden fort ever built in North America. An earlier 1794 fort, which gave the present city its name, was named after General "Mad" Anthony Wayne, who was victorious against Indians at the Battle of Fallen Timbers.
