Tecumseh (1768–1813) Shawnee chief and military leader. Probably born at Piqua on the Mad River in Ohio in March 1768, Tecumseh grew up during the long conflict between the Indian tribes and white settlers advancing into the Old Northwest after 1774. He took part in many raids against the settlers in Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee as well as in the battle against U.S. troops led by Gen.
”Mad Anthony” Wayne at
Fallen Timbers (August 20, 1794). Together with his brother, the medicine man Tenskwatawa (”The Prophet”), Tecumseh led the Shawnee and other northwest tribes in resisting white expansion into their territory after Fallen Timbers. He quarreled with Indiana governor
William Henry Harrison over the sale of Indian land to white settlers (1809–1811) and traveled south in 1811 to persuade the southeastern tribes to join his confederacy. While he was away Harrison attacked and gained a victory over the Indians at
Tippecanoe (November 7, 1811). Tecumseh returned to the Northwest in 1812 and allied himself with the British in the
War of 1812, raiding American forces and settlements along the Detroit River. He was killed in battle against U.S. troops led by Harrison at the
Battle of the Thames in Canada (October 5, 1813).
