  • Destruction of Delaware and Miami Towns in the Aftermath of the Battle of Tippecanoe: the Impact of Perspective on History
    Destruction of Delaware and Miami Towns in the Aftermath of the Battle of Tippecanoe: The Impact of Perspective on History WILLIAM W. GIFFIN Indiana State University Smoke rose from burning Delaware and Miami towns along the Mississinewa River of northeastern Indiana in mid-December 1812. The time was about a year after the Battle of Tippecanoe near Prophetstown on the upper Wabash River in the Indiana Territory. A military force repre­ senting the United States government was executing a de facto policy of burning dwellings, destroying stored grain, killing cattle, and confiscating horses of the Native American people in the Mississinewa valley. Mean­ while, some men of the towns, largely Miamis, gathered to confront the government's troops. There was a brief conflict resulting in casualties on both sides. Shortly afterwards, the government force's commander decided to order his men to return to their home base in Ohio instead of continuing their campaign of destruction in the Mississinewa valley. These events can be seen as part of the aftermath of the Battle of Tippecanoe in November 1811. William Henry Harrison, Governor of the Indiana Territory, led an army of about a thousand men on a long march up the Wabash River into the northern third of present Indiana. Harrison departed Vincennes, the territorial capital, on 26th September and arrived at Prophetstown on 6th November. Undoubtedly, the residents of Prophets- town saw the arrival of Harrison's army at Prophetstown as the culmination of an invasion of lands occupied by Native Americans. All Anglo- American settlements in the Indiana Territory were located in the southern third of present Indiana far from Prophetstown.

  • The History of Eaton 1854 – 1954
    The History of Eaton 1854 – 1954 Written by Mrs. Robert Dorton – Please see acknowledgments at the end of this document. Though Indiana was organized as territory in 1800 and admitted as a state in 1816, the region that we now know as Delaware County of which Union Township is a part received but few permanent settlers until about 1820. Prior to that date, the country was indeed a wilderness. Everywhere present were the towering monarchs of the forest. Black, white, red and burr oak, black and white walnut poplar, elm, beech and sugar maple were the prevailing varieties of timber when the first pioneers took up an abode in their midst. Along the wooded streams roamed the predatory wolf, and the restless red man parted the waters of old Mississinewa prow of his birchen canoe. The Indians of this region were the Delawares, of the Algonquin stock. By the treaty of St. Mary’s, October 3, 1818, they ceded to the United States, all their claims to land lying within boundaries of the state of Indiana. By the time our early settlers came in to establish residence, there were few of the Indians who had not taken down their teepees and followed the trail into the west. Upon the coming of immigrants to the northern part of Delaware County, the land entries were made along the river Mississinewa. Mill sites were thus afforded, as were watering places for live stock. The facility for transportation by water also directed the settlers to this location. Union Township, situated at the northern extremity of Delaware County, is designated as Township 22 north, of range 10 east.
