During the battle, Washington himself was hit by four bullets and had two horses die under him but survived mostly unscathed,<ref name="George notebook"/> a fact that led a {{Wiki|sachem}} to prophesize Washington would become "the leader of the nations".<ref name="Wabash">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Legacy of the Brotherhood]]'' – [[The Battle of the Wabash]]</ref>
