How seFippecanOer Harrison was
Saved.
The battle OF Tippecanoe was fought |
November 9Th, 1911, in Indiana, on the |
banks OF Tippecanoe River, on the site OF
the present village of Battle Ground, be-
tween the Americans under General Har-
rison, and the Indians under the prophet,
Tecumseh's brother.
After the famous battle until the end
OF his days General Harrison, grandfather
Of President Benjamin Harrison was
known by the loving sobriquet OF
"Tippecanoe."
Following his brilliant achievements in
arms, now more than three quarters OF a
century ago, General Harrison, together
with many Of his troops, was stricken
| with disease contracted through lack OF
| proper food, and exposure to the miasma
| OF that section Of Indiana, aud for time
his life was despaired Of. Several OF his
command lay for weeks, suffering the
horrors OF disease upon the banks OF the
Tippecanoe river, which rises in a lake OF
the same name in the northern part OF
the state, flows south west 200 miles and
smpties into the Wabash nine miles above
Lafayette. General Harrison's troops
were threatened with defamation, and
the skill Of the army surgeons was en-.
ployed In vein to combat q more terrible
and deadly enemy than even the
hostile aborigines under Tecumaeh's
brother.
But relief came at last.
