As a result, the remnants of the Native American forces continued to flee to the north before making camp near Swan Creek. Disheartened by their defeat and their betrayal by the British, many refused to fight any more, and the army of the Miami confederacy practically disintegrated as the warriors trickled back to their homes.

On August 28, 1794, Wayne described the action in a letter written to the Secretary of War: “SIR,--It is with infinite pleasure that I now announce to you the brilliant success of the Federal Army under my command in a general action with the combined force of the hostile Indians and a considerable number of the volunteers & militia of Detroit (Canadians) on the 20th inst on the banks of the Miamis in the Vicinity of the British post and garrison at the foot of the rapids....From every account the enemy amounted to 2000 combatants, and the troops actually engaged against them were short of 9oo. This horde of savages with their allies abandoned themselves to flight, and dispersed with terror and dismay leaving our victorious army in full & quiet possession of the field of battle which terminated under the influence of the guns of the British garrison, as you will perceive by the enclosed correspondence between Major Campbell, the commandant, & myself upon the occasion. The bravery & conduct of every officer belonging to the army from the Generals down to the Ensigns merit my highest approbation.”
