| Summary | "Diary of Captain John Cooke, 1794" by active 1792-1794 John Cooke et al. is a historical account published in the mid-20th century. The book is structured as a diary, detailing the experiences and observations of Captain John Cooke during his service in General Wayne's campaign. It offers insights into military life, the challenges faced by troops in the American frontier, and the early settlement of Fort Wayne. The diary entry spans various significant days in September and October 1794, highlighting military operations, the construction of fortifications, and the scarcity of resources faced by the soldiers. Cooke provides a first-hand account of troop movements, encounters with deserters, and interactions with local Native American tribes. Specific events include the building of a garrison, descriptions of a sermon delivered by Rev. David Jones, and accounts of skirmishes as well as troop morale. Through its detailed entries, the book serves as a valuable primary source for understanding early military history and the founding of Fort Wayne amidst the backdrop of colonial tensions and Native American histories.
