About the event

The Battle of Fallen Timbers with Dave Westrick!
We are so excited to welcome Dave Westrick to Gathering Volumes on the 231st anniversary of The Battle of Fallen Timbers, Wednesday, August 20, 2025!

Author Dave Westrick shares the forgotten stories of the defenders, invaders and all the people caught in the middle. On a hot, humid August morning in 1794, an army representing fifteen quarreling states met an alliance of Native American tribes at a place called Fallen Timbers. The battle lasted less than two hours, with fewer than one hundred killed. For the United States, it was the beginning of greatness and the birth of a proud military tradition. For the Native Americans, it was the end of the life they had led for thousands of years.

Dave Westrick fell in love with Ohio history growing up on a farm in Northwest Ohio. He graduated from Ohio University with a degree in journalism. After a career in journalism and communication, he turned his attention to research, specializing in the early frontier era. He has written and lectured extensively on the Battle of Fallen Timbers. Dave serves on the boards of several history groups, including the Maumee Valley Historical Society, and is a former president of the Fallen Timbers Battlefield Preservation Committee. He lives with his wife, Nanci, in Maumee, Ohio.
