Battle of Chillicothe
The Battle of Chillicothe was part of the western theater of the American Revolutionary War.〔("Bowman's Expedition Against Chillicothe: May-June, 1779" ). ''Ohio Archaeological and Historical Publications'' 19 (1910): 446–59.〕
In May 1779, Colonel John Bowman of the Kentucky County militia, accompanied by Benjamin Logan and Levi Todd, led between 160〔Faust, Albert Bernhardt.

Dividing their forces, Bowman and Logan attacked the town from two sides but were eventually repulsed.
Unable to draw the Shawnee from their single blockhouse, Bowman burned much of the town and left with between 30 to 300 horses valued at $32,000.
