THE BATTLE OF TIPPECANOE
November 7, 1811
Here on this site, military forces commanded by General
William
Henry Harrison, engaged in battle with the Indians of the Wabash
country
led by The Prophet, brother of the great Indian leader, Tecumseh.
This battle destroyed forever the hope of Tecumseh for a complete
Indian
Confederacy, launched Harrison toward the Presidency of the United
States
twenty-nine years later, and is considered one of the primary events
leading
to conflict between the United States and Great Britain in the War of
1812.
