The Battle of the Embarras River was a 15 April 1786 punitive military action taken by the Vincennes militia against a Piankeshaw village near the Embarras River ==Background==
Prior to 1779, the Piankeshaw had relatively good relations with the French residents of Vincennes, living in and near the outpost town. When George Rogers Clark marched to Vincennes in 1779, a Piankeshaw chief, Young Tobacco, offered to assist in the siege against the British in Fort Sackville. 〔Alton, 143〕 After the United States assumed control of the area, however, it became a destination for illegal settlers,〔Sword, 57〕 and relations with the Piankeshaw deteriorated. Many small attacks and counter-attacks occurred between Native American tribes and new American settlers.〔Allison, 57〕 After a boat was ambushed on the Wabash River, the Vincennes militia under John Small, Moses Henry, and Daniel Sullivan retaliated against one of these ambushes on 15 April 1786, a few miles east of Vincennes. The militia had several killed and some wounded.
