    "Tippecanoe" (or "Old Tippecanoe")

Tecumseh
  • As more settlers entered the Northwest
    Territory, the Shawnee, among others, found
    themselves forced to assimilate or leave their
    lands. Tecumseh, the famed Shawnee leader, led a
    war against General William Henry Harrison in
    protest. The Shawnee were defeated by Harrsion at
    the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811. Tecumseh died
    in 1813.

    political leader (of the Shawnee tribe), known as
    The Prophet or the Shawnee Prophet. He was the
    brother of Tecumseh, leader of the Shawnee. He

    Noisemaker).

    1834 in Charlestown, Indiana.
  • He arrived in Clark County, Indiana in 1806, and
    established Charlestown as his home after
    considering Jeffersonville and Vincennes. "No
    slavery in Indiana" was his motto, and he labored
