A battle between Chickasaw, French and Iroquois, Miami, Illinois and Arkansas tribes. This battle was supposed to be part of a coordinated attack by French and Indian forces from the north and south. However, the southern forces were delayed and the French commander Pierre d’Artaguette attempted to capture a Chickasaw village and wait for the reinforcements. This proved fatal to d’Artaguette as his forces were defeated and the Chickasaw captured his supplies and munitions.
