The Battle of Wabash, often called Harmer's Defeat was the most overwhelming slaughter ever achieved by American Indians against the US Army. General Harmer gathered together 1,460 regulars and militia with the goal of attacking the Miami tribe at what is now Fort Wayne, Indiana. The Miami got word of the attack, and fled carrying as many supplies as possible. General Harmer sent out scouts who ran across an Indian on horseback. The Indian, who was a decoy, fled down a small path. Harmer summoned his men, and were led to a marshy area where they could neither pursue or retreat easily. The 100 Miami slaughtered most of the militia.

Good question. It was nearly a Confederate victory. Grant was not expecting any action for a while. So he was caught off-guard and his army was nearly pushed into the river. It was able to rally just in time - thanks to whom is uncertain. The arrival of reinforcements (somewhat delayed) under Don Carlos Buell may have been one factor. Also one brigade, under John McClernand, had been kept on the alert throughout, and McClernand claimed, quite plausibly, that he had saved the situation. (Dramatically, he could also claim that the Confederate commander, the brilliant Sidney Johnston, had been killed outside McClernand's tent.) This was making Grant look foolish, especially as McClernand was always giving interviews to the press, wanting credit for his brigade. Also McClernand was one of the 'politicians in uniform' always mistrusted by West Pointers like Grant. Whatever the truth of the matter, there would always be bad blood between Grant and McClernand, and this is believed to have slowed down the Vicksburg campaign, when McClernand had raised a new unit that he treated like a private army, rather than an integral part of Grant's force. Still, the Union victory at Shiloh was most significant. The death of Johnston greatly damaged Confederate effectiveness and morale, Western Tennessee and the Mississippi would be liberated before long, and Grant's reputation made.

The start of the war in the West did not involve any Confederate victories. There was a small Union victory in Kentucky (Mill Springs), and then the capture of the two river-ports ending in Grant's successful demand for 'unconditional surrender'. There followed the Battle of Shiloh, which almost became a Confederate victory, but the situation was saved just in time - by whom is still a debatable issue.
In Western Europe, the Frankish Victory by Charles Martel in 732 C.E. at the Battle of Tours (called by the French as the Battle of Poitiers) against the Amazigh and Arab Islamic Forces from Spain, prevented Islam from reaching western and central Europe from the southwest (Iberia).
