We fluid in the history of General
Hnll's expedition, the following " brief
description" of this celebrated Brigadier
General, Tecunseh, now in the British
service:
"Tecumseh is about as years Of age,
of the Shawnee tribe, six feet high, well
fpsopostionsd fer his hei5hs, of srecs and
lofty department., penetrating eye, rather
stern in his visage, ariful, insidious in
preparing enterprises, and bold in their
execution. His e!oqucnce is nervous,
concise and impressive. In his youth,
and before the treaty of Greenville, he
was one of the boldest warriors who in
tested the Ohio river-seizing boats
killing Notwithstanding the horses he
took with the most valuable plumber, and
retiring to the Wabash, where, careless
Of wealth himself, he soon lavished the
treasures of his rapine upon his followers,
which, when exhausted, he ~replenished
by fresh depreda,ions. Among the In.
dams, Tecauaseh is esteemed the bold.
est warrior of the West"
