Native American battles (general, Asians, biggest, state)

[robertpasa]

What was the biggest battle between Native Americans and caucasians, in terms of deaths, inside the current 48 states?

[MyTarge13]

I do not claim to be an expert, but the two battle that come to mind are:

The Battle of Horseshoe Bend: in which Andrew Jackson led the Tennessee militia against member of the Creek tribes. As I remember almost 1000 people died, most of the Creek.

The deadliest Native American battle for the American settlers was supposed to the Battle of the Wabash, but I do not remember the casualty numbers.

I hope this helps.

On November 4, 1791, the forces of Governor General Arthur St. Clair suffered 632 killed and 264 wounded out of a force of 920 men in what is now the state of Ohio very close to the Indiana border. St. Clair sufferd three times as many casualties as would Custer 85 years later in Montana.

The most Indian casualties were at Horseshoe Bend and the most Anglo casualties were at St. Clair's Defeat/Battle of the Wabash. As far as outright civilian massacres goes, the 1637 attack by colonists on the Pequot village in Mystic has to be up there, if not number one; an estimated 400-700 women, children and old men were massacred.
