Mike Lyr Req: St. Clair's Defeat (16) St. Clair's Defeat 18 Jun 02

I'm looking for the lyrics to a song called (I believe) "St. Clair's Defeat." It commemorates in music the worst defeat the US Army ever had -- in 1791, when twenty-five percent of the active army was wiped out. The force was commanded by Arthur St. Clair, the battle (with the Shawnees) occured near Ft. Jefferson on the Ohio/Indiana border, and I heard the song on an album from the early '60s/late '50s called "At the Gate of Horn" or "Gibson and Camp At The Gate Of Horn."

Can anyone help?

Mike
