THE BATTLE OF TIPPECANOE:  November 7, 1811   PROPHETS ROCK  The Prophet (half-brother of Tecumseh who was away recruiting Indian nations for his Confederacy) directed the attack upon William Henry Harrison's  forces that were encamped over 1/4 mile away from the rock pictured above. During the battle the Prophet sat and chanted songs to encourage his warriors in the battle and he prayed for success on the battlefield.  Harrison had his men prepared for a night/pre-dawn attack and the Native American forces were turned back after a bloody engagement.  This was viewed as the opening battle of the War of 1812 between Britain and the US. Prophet's Rock  is a limestone formation on the side of a steep hill west of the Tippecanoe Battlefield site.  There are small caves within the rock form...

        AS I MENTIONED IN EARLIER BLOGS THE BATTLE OF TIPPECANOE (present day Battle Ground, Indiana) WAS THE OPENING CONFRONTATION OF THE WAR OF 1812  between the United States and Great Britain. A beautiful park with an excellent interpretive museum sits on the former battle site in BATTLE GROUND, a small town located about seven miles north of Lafayette, Indiana. Many of the large oak trees today were actually around at the time of the Battle of Tippecanoe when it was fought on November 7, 1811. In 1836 John Tipton, a survivor of the Battle of Tippecanoe, gifted the 16 acre battlefield site to the state of Indiana. In 1873 a black iron fence was erected around the battlefield site. In 1908 the Tippecanoe Battlefield monument was dedicated In 1963 the site was designated a NATIONAL HI...

      REFLECTIONS FROM A CREEK THAT MADE A PRESIDENT:  PART II   THE BATTLE OF TIPPECANOE:    November 7, 1811   (present day,   BATTLE GROUND, INDIANA)   TECUMSEH emerged as the principle Native American political and military leader in the old NORTHWEST TERRITORY after the TREATY OF GREENVILLE IN 1795 ceded a great portion of Ohio to the US Government.   His dream was to form an Indian Confederacy to block expansion by the anglos into Native American lands north of the Ohio River.  TECUMSEH was an incredibly skilled diplomat, military leader, and he possessed great political skills which were necessary to nurture such an ambitious task.   TECUMSEH's brother, THE PROPHET, launched the attack upon GENERAL WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON's troops which were camped just east of Burnett's Creek(pi...

      THE BATTLE OF TIPPECANOE:   NOVEMBER 7, 1811   As a creek goes Burnett's Creek is small, routine- even ordinary.   Yet during the first week of November, 200 years ago the crossing of this creek would lead to war between Britain and the United States.   Native American forces led by The Prophet(Tenskwatawa) launched a surprise attack upon the encamped armed forces of the U.S. government led by General William Henry Harrison.   Harrison would use the fame from The Battle of Tippecanoe to help him win The White House in the Presidential Election of 1840.
