Bird's invasion of Kentucky in 1780 was one of four concurrent military operations organized by the British in the Trans-Appalachia region during the Revolutionary War. The goal was to clear the Illinois Country and the Mississippi River valley of Spanish and American forces. While Bird's campaign met with limited success, destroying two fortified settlements in Kentucky County and taking several hundred prisoners, it failed its primary objective of destroying the American fort at the Falls of the Ohio.
