Orderly books, 1793 July-Oct., 1795 Jan.-June.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/58661336

Orderly books of Wayne's kept during the campaign against the Indians of the Northwest territory when Wayne commanded the Legion of the United States, a mixed force of cavalry, artillery, and infantry which could, as the circumstances warranted, be detached for specific missions or postings and then brought back together into a single combined-arms force. The orderly books were kept at Hobson's Choice (near Cincinnati), Ohio, July to October, 1793, and at Greeneville, Ohio, January to June, 1795. Many of the entries have to do with Courts-Martial for desertion, drunkeness, sleeping on guard duty, and other infractions.
