Five of the sons distinguished them

showed a respect for her that an Indian

do anything within his power to crafty
her whims.
The Shawnees were rovers by nature,

city of Piqua. Tecumseh was Graded in
the strife of the Indian wars Of the revo-

years old the Shawnees were engaged

father was killed in the battle of ka-

went south to join the Cherokees, leav-
ing the children to shift for themselves.
Where Tecumseh got the knowledge of
French, English and American history,
of which he gave good evidence at va
rious times, is mystery. Perhaps some
missionary lghtened the monotony of
his days in the Shawnee village by tell
ing the Indian boy the stories of France
and England, Of their wars In Europe
and their wars in the new world; of the
treaties between France and England
and between England and the United
States, and of all three of these nations
with the various Indian tribes. However

And he did The first battle OF the war
Of 1912 was fought at River Raisin. A
force of seventy Indians and forty British
soldiers, commanded by Tecumseh, de-
feated an American detachment under
Mai Van Horne. Thereafter Tecumseh
was the most brilliant soldier in the Brit
ish service in the lake district. For his
stubborn bravery at the battle Of Browns

With Gen. Proctor he besieged Harrison
in Fort Meigs and made such Roadway
that he thought the fort surely would
fall. But it didn't. In July there was an
other attempt to capture Fort Meigs, but
this, too, failed. An attack on Fort Ste
phenson. which was defended by the
youthful Maj Croghan, was equally I'M
successful, and then came the battle of
Lake Erie between Perry's feet and that
Of Barclay. This contest was witnessed
by Tecumseh. 1t was the first engage
ment between war vessels he ever had
seen and he was deeply impressed.
Gen. Proctor tried to make him believe
the British had won, but he could not
be deceived. "Bah!' he said. you now
will run away, but, I stay. I must fight"
Tecumseh had an abiding contempt for
Proctor. Once after a battle he saw
some Indians torturing a white prisoner
with Proctor looking on Rushing upon
the Indians Tecumseh hurled them aside
and then. turning on Proctor, he exclaim-
ed: You. You call yourself a soldier.

his lamentations and his promises that the
