9 the British Alliance of 1812–14
9 The British Alliance of 1812–14 Chapter Outline This chapter examines the War of 1812 and, in particular, the role that Tecumseh had in this event. By the early 1800s, the intentions of the Americans were clear. The Americans were expanding, and it would be to the west where they would seek land. The War of 1812 can be viewed as a continu- ance of the American War of Independence, as this inconclusive war had left unresolved several im- portant matters, such as those relating to Indigenous Peoples and their lands. In a similar fashion to Obwandiyag, Tecumseh, a part-Shawnee and part-Cree leader, rose to the forefront as an advocate for a pan-Indigenous movement. Like Obwandiyag, Tecumseh was linked to a prophet. Tenskwa- tawa was known as the Shawnee Prophet and happened to be Tecumseh’s brother. Tenskwatawa argued that no particular tribe had the right to give up land as its own. Tecumseh had a particular disdain for Americans as both his father and brother were killed in US frontier wars. He chose to side with the British not because he favoured them but rather because he saw them as the lesser of two evils. Tecumseh challenged the cessions of lands that the Americans were obtaining, particularly those claimed in Indiana Territory. Throughout 1812 to 1813, Tecumseh led Indigenous forces to victory af- ter victory over the Americans. Tecumseh eventually met his demise at Moraviantown where, unsup- ported by British troops that had been promised, he was killed in October 1813. The death of Tecum- seh had immediate impacts since no leader could fill his role as a catalyst for a pan-Indigenous move- ment.

The 1901 Fort Wayne, Indiana City Election
THE 1901 FORT WAYNE, INDIANA CITY ELECTION: A POLITICAL DIALOGUE OF ETHNIC TENSION Nancy Eileen Brown Submitted to the faculty of the University Graduate School in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in the Department of History, Indiana University May 2013 Accepted by the Faculty of Indiana University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ____________________________ Marianne S. Wokeck Ph.D., Chair ____________________________ Elizabeth Brand Monroe Ph.D., J.D. Master’s Thesis Committee ____________________________ Michael David Snodgrass Ph.D. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis represents the culmination of my journey back to school that began with a summer class as a non-degree student. Dr. Kevin Cramer’s captivating lectures and Dr. Danielle Kostroun’s engaging class discussions persuaded me to extend my path. Once committed to the journey, several people guided me along the way. Conversations with Dr. Elizabeth Brand Monroe filled with encouragement and witticism lightened the stress of “school.” With her support, I walked the scenic path to learn more about teaching and the profession of history. Her diligent attention to my “well-travelled” thesis improved the final version. Thesis committee member Dr. Michael Snodgrass’ comments and questions helped me recognize where my thesis had gone astray. My weekly meetings with thesis chair Dr. Marianne Wokeck broadened the road. Our discussions on educational theory, historical methodology and technology as well as my thesis kept the experience from becoming a tunnel of solitary research and writing. Dr. Wokeck’s intellectual curiosity demonstrates the type of excitement about learning that drew me back to school and I hope to pass along to my future students someday.

William Wells: Frontier Scout and Indian Agent
William Wells: Frontier Scout and Indian Agent Paul A. Hutton” William Wells occupies an important place in the history of Indian-white relations in the Old Northwest. First as a Miami warrior and then as an army scout he participated in many of the northwestern frontier’s great battles; later as an Indian agent he held a critical position in the implementation of the United States’ early Indian policy. He was what was known along the frontier as a “white Indian,” a unique type often found along the ever-changing border that marked the bound- ary of the Indian country. As such, he was the product of two very different cultures, and throughout his forty-two years of life he swayed back and forth between them-never sure to which he truly belonged. Such indecision doomed him, for he could never be fully accepted by either society. When at last he perished in battle, it would be in defense of whites, but he would be dressed and painted as an Indian. Such was the strange paradox of his life. Born near Jacob’s Creek, Pennsylvania, in 1770, Wells was only nine when his family migrated down the Ohio River on flatboats in company with the families of William Pope and William Oldham to settle on the Beargrass, near what is now Louisville, Kentucky. His older brothers, Samuel and Hayden, had explored the region in 1775 and reported its richness to their father, Captain Samuel Wells, Sr., late of the Revolution- my army. No sooner had the old soldier settled his family in a fortified enclosure called Wells Station (three and one half miles north of present Shelbyville, Kentucky) than he was killed in the ambush of Colonel John Floyd’s militiamen near Louisville in 1781.
