It is the battle of the Thames, fought in Canada on October 5, 1S13, when American troops, led ny Gen. William Henry Harrison, defeated the allied British and Indian forces led by General Iroctor and The victory so Chief Tecumseh. added to the military prestige of Harrison as to aid materially In his election to the Presidency by the Whig party In 1840. In that same year the Democratic candidate for Vice President was Col. Richard M. Johnson, who had fought under Harrison at the battle of the Thames and the chief factor in his securing the Democratic nomination had been the claim made for him by his friends that he had slain Tecumseh with his own hand at the battle of the Thames. Thus more than a quarter of a century after the death of the great Shawnee leader his name was heard in a political campaign. Curiously enough it was heard in that connection again half a century later. At a meeting of the Republican national committee In Washington to select a city in which to hold a Presidential nominating convention, one committeeman, during an eloquent plea for the selection of Detroit, promised to take fthe visitors thirty miles over Into Canada to view the spot where Tecumseh, the greatest Indian the American continent ever knew, was slain. That last quotation affords the best reason why the battle of the Thames is notable. For the committeeman had the authority of more than one historian for his characterization of Tecumseh. Trumbull declared unqualHe was the most exifiedly that traordinary Indian that has ever ap-peered In history. In 1768 there was born to Chief Puckeshinwau of the Shawnees at the Shawnee village of i Ffijua on the Mad river near the present site of Springfield, Ohio, a son, who was given the name of Tikamthi or Tecumtha, meaning "Crouching When Panther" or Shooting Star. the boy was six years old Ids father was killed In the famous battle ot Before he Point Pleasant W. Va. had reached his majority he had distinguished himself as a fearless warrior but one who was more humane and chivalrous towards his enemies than was common among the Indians of that period. Tecumseh fought in two great hat-tie- s of that period against the whites, the St. Claire defeat and the battle of Fallen Timbers where Mad An thony Wayne crushed the tribes of the Ohio valley. The young Shawnee refused to take part in the Treaty of Greenville and, gathering about him a band of warriors, he spent several years roving about before accepting an invitation from the Delawares and settled on the White rivet In Indiana. This was in 1798 and for the y ' High Divorce Rate The chances for a marriage In California seem, according to the latest statistics, to be about two out of three marriages. At any rate, dur ing 1928 40,943 collides stepped boldly forth to proclaim to the world that they were tree lovers who never more should part." and during that same year 11,4.78 told the courts it that through their attorneys, wouldn't do and that they yearned life-lon- g T$CDZS&T p Los once more for their freedom. Angeles was especially hard hit, for while the marriages were dropping off about a thousand over 1927. the divorces Jumped more than 300 Daddy Chief Eagle Feather of the salutes the historic flag with which the British covered the body ot the great Shawnee chief, Tecumseh, during the military funeral ceremony after the battle of the Thames during the War of 1812. Tecumseh held the rank of brigadier general In the British army. After the military funeral, the Indians took the body down the Thames river and buried it in a secret place. The flag Is now owned by P. W. A. Fitzsimmons of Detroit. Chero-kee- next few years Tecumseh remained there, peacefully occupied In hunting. More farseeing than most Indians of his time, Tecumseh early In life realized that the red man was doomed to go down before the greater numbers of the whites unless they were stopped. So he undertook the formation of a great confederacy ot all the Western and Southern tribes for the purpose of making the Ohio river the permanent boundary between the two races. Tecumseh's dream of an Indian confederacy was not a new one. King Philip, the Wapanoag, Pontiac, the Ottawa, and Little Turtle, the Miami, had tried the same scheme and all had failed. So perhaps Tecumseh, the Shawnee, was doomed to failure from the start, but the chances are that his attempt to hold back the tide of wldte settlement would have come nearer realization than any of these others had It not been for his brother. The the Prophet. Tenskwatawa, Prophet, a vain, boastful charlatan, had little of the greatness of Tecumseh In his make-ubut he was a clever demagogue and through his powers as a prophet exerted considerable influence over the superstitious savages. It was an Influence which Tecumseh, although he must have realized that his brother was a faker, was glad to use in his grand scheme for uniting the tribes. The only thing which he could not foresee was that the character of his brother might make him a liability as well as an asset to his cause. And this was exactly what hapWhile Tecumseh was absent pened. among the Southern tribes organizing them, the Prophet precipitated the battle of Tippecanoe, November 7, 1S11, and his forces were disastrously defeuted by General Harrison. After that historic engagement the influence of the Prophet was gone forever. More than that, it dampened the ardor of most of the tril 'S for the cause in which they had enlisted and Tecumseh saw hig elaborate plans crash to earth. When the war of 1812 broke out, Tecumseh joined in the Canada. army English Nearly all of the war chiefs followed his lead and the Shawuee found himself the nominal head of more than 700 warriors. The value of these allies and especially when directed by the genius of Tecumseh was immediately recognized by General Brock, commander of the British forces, and the friendship of the two men, bnsed upon mutual respect and admiration, continued until the death of General Brock at the battle of Queenstown. Proctor, Brock's successor, was a very different sort from Brock and lacked all of the qualities which had won the high regnrd of the Indian leader for the former British commander. Despite the aid of Tecumseh and the 2.000 warriors of the al lied tribes under his command, Proctor proved hiraRelf such a bungler, If not actually a coward, that the Indian lender foresaw the eventual triumph of the Americans. Tecumseh covered Proctor's retreat after Perry's decisive victory on Lake Erie until disgusted Huh, J - I Father and mother took little Mary to church.

Even then .Tecumseh was not sure that Proctor would fight If he coirid help It and for that reason the Indian lender took his position at the Junction of the British and Indian lines so as to have a near and direct communication with the British leader. His low opinion of Proctor was Immediately Justified, for at the first onset of Harrison's troops, Proctor fled in his carriage with his personal staff, a few dragoons and some mounted Indians. AS1 the American cavalry broke the British line Proctors soldiers surrendered as fast a! they could throw down their arnu and within five minutes after the first shot was fired the whole British force of 800 men was beaten and most of them were prisoners. A more severe engagement took place when the force of mounted Kentucky riflemen struck the Indians and Tecumseh, who was In the thick of the fight, was shot down. According to one tradition, Tecumseh had wounded Colonel Johnson with a rifle bullet and was springing forward to finish his work with his tomahawk when the officer drew a pistol and shot the Indian through the bead. During the political campaign when Johnson was a candidate for Vice President, his friends revived the story and made much of this Johnson himself supposed feat. never affirmed or denied the story. Il Is true that he killed an Indian unde? such circumstances and after the battle two Indians, one of whom was believed to be Tecumseh, was found dead there. Some of the Kentuckians, ns savage by nature and training as their enemies, believing that one of these Indians was Tecumseh, flayed most of the skin from the body and made It Into razor strops. This fact is vouched for by reputnhle historians but It Is also pretty definitely established that the victim of this example of brutality by the white man was not the great Shawnee leader. With a presentiment of death before the battle, Tecnmseh had discarded his generals uniform, and dressed him self In his Indian deerskin. So there was nothing in his appearunce to distinguish him from any of the other warrior dead. Chief Blackhawk of the Sacs and Foxes, who was present at the battle of the Thames, later declared that Tecumsehs body was carried from the field by his followers but where he was buried no one ever learned. To this day the site of his grave Is one of the unsolved mysteries of American history.
