  • The Potawatomi Reservations in Benton, Fountain, Warren and Tippecanoe Counties by J
    The Potawatomi Reservations in Benton, Fountain, Warren and Tippecanoe Counties By J. WESLEYWHICKCAR, of Attica. The Potawatomi Indians, accompanied by the Kickapoo, came on horseback into Indiana from the north and north- west prior to 1790. All of northern Indiana, before the mi- gration of these two tribes, was inhabited by the Miami. The Miami, an Indian of the woods, refused to mount himself even though he could have secured horses to do so. The Potawatomi and Kickapoo, being mounted, had an advantage in warfare, and slowly but s.urely drove the Miami south and east until the Wabash River in western Indiana marked the western and northern line of the Miami Country. Practically all of,the reservations made in Indiana to the Miami Indians are south and east of the Wabash River, while, with one exception, the grants and reservations made to the Kickapoo and Potawatomi are north and west of the Wabash River. This exception, which is located in Tippecanoe County and the northeast corner of Fountain County, was made to the children of Kaukeama, a Potawatomi princess, the only sister of Topenebee and the daughter of Aniquiba, the great chief of the Potawatomi. The name of Kaukeama, according to Jacob P. Dunn, means “the girl who ran away from home.” Both Aniquiba and Topenebee lived on the St. Joseph River in Berrien County, Michigan. As principal chiefs of the Potawatomi, they were at the head of both the state and re- ligious affairs of all the Potawatomi tribes. This chieftain- ship among the Potawatomi was passed from father to son.

    Colonel John Johnston’s “Biography of Tecumtha” (1854) [Text prepared by Caitlin Metheny.] [From the Dayton Gazette.] MESSRS. EDITORS: —I am requested by an old and esteemed friend to give some account of the celebrat- ed warrior, Tecumtha, I state the Indian orthography, which, it will be perceived, is somewhat different from the common practice of writing his name, the interpre- tation of which, substantially is, the Panther or Tiger crouching ready to pounce on its prey—a name most appropriate and characteristic of the man. Tecumtha was a Native Shawanoese, born on the banks of Mad River, near the site of the present city of Springfield, Clarke county, Ohio, about the year 1770, and was of unadulterated Indian blood, both by father and Nineteenth-Century Ohio Literature pairs forgotten readings with new essays that explain them. In this installment, we have a biography of the Shawnee leader Tecumseh by Colonel John Johnston (here and, in some sources, spelled Johnson), who worked for de- cades as an “Indian agent”—an official liaison between the US government and indigenous peoples—at Fort Wayne and Piqua. This reading is followed by a critical essay by Caitlin Metheny. Nineteenth-Century Ohio Literature is edited by Jon Miller at The Unviersity of Akron.

His father became a distinguished war chief, and fell in the battle of Point Pleasant, Kanawha, in 1774. The hatred of the son to the white man was doubtless much aggravated by this occurrence. Tecumtha never was a chief in any sense of the term.

  • Creating a Frontier War: Harrison, Prophetstown, and the War of 1812. Patrick Bottiger, Ph.D., [email protected] Most Scholars
    1 Creating a Frontier War: Harrison, Prophetstown, and the War of 1812. Patrick Bottiger, Ph.D., [email protected] Most scholars would agree that the frontier was a violent place. But only recently have academics begun to examine the extent to which frontier settlers used violence as a way to empower themselves and to protect their interests. Moreover, when historians do talk about violence, they typically frame it as the by-product of American nationalism and expansion. For them, violence is the logical result of the American nation state’s dispossessing American Indians of their lands. Perhaps one of the most striking representations of the violent transition from frontier to nation state is that of Indiana Territory’s contested spaces. While many scholars see this violence as the logical conclusion to Anglo-American expansionist aims, I argue that marginalized French, Miamis, and even American communities created a frontier atmosphere conducive to violence (such as that at the Battle of Tippecanoe) as a means to empower their own agendas. Harrison found himself backed into a corner created by the self-serving interests of Miami, French, and American factions, but also Harrison own efforts to save his job. The question today is not if Harrison took command, but why he did so. The arrival of the Shawnee Prophet and his band of nativists forced the French and Miamis to take overt action against Prophetstown. Furious that the Shawnee Prophet established his community in the heart of Miami territory, the French and Miamis quickly identified the Prophet as a threat to regional stability.

  • The History of Tippecanoe County Compiled by Quinten Robinson, Tippecanoe County Historian the SETTING Tippecanoe County, Locate
    The History of Tippecanoe County Compiled by Quinten Robinson, Tippecanoe County Historian THE SETTING Tippecanoe County, located in west-central Indiana, is about 65 miles northwest of Indianapolis and 100 miles southeast of Chicago. Tippecanoe County is 21 miles east to west and 24 miles north to south and Lafayette, the county seat, is situated on the banks of the Wabash nearly in the center. About one-half the surface consists of broad, fertile, and nearly level plains. The balance consists of gently rolling uplands, steep hillsides or rich alluvial bottoms. Occasional wetlands or bogs are found but those were largely drained by the beginning of the 20th century. The Wabash River flows nearly through the middle of Tippecanoe County from northeast to southwest. Tributaries to the Wabash River that drain the north and west parts of Tippecanoe County are the Tippecanoe River, Burnett Creek, Indian Creek, and Little Pine Creek. Draining the south and east parts of the county are Sugar Creek, Buck Creek, North, South and Middle Forks of the Wildcat Creek, Wea Creek, and Flint Creek. Besides Lafayette, cities and towns in Tippecanoe County are West Lafayette, the home of Purdue University, Battle Ground, West Point, Otterbein, Dayton, Clarks Hill, Romney, Stockwell, Americus, Colburn & Buck Creek. In 2010 county population was set at 172,780 PREHISTORIC TIPPECANOE COUNTY The terrain, the Wabash River, and the creeks you see today in Tippecanoe County came to their present condition about 10,000 years ago as the last continental glacier retreated northward leaving a vastly different landscape than what had existed before the advance of the ice sheets began over 700,000 years ago.

    Tecumseh, Harrison, and The War of 1812* Marshall Smelser”” Indiana Territory had only twenty-five thousand citizens in 1810. When one reflects that the populations of Ohio and Kentucky combined were more than twenty-five times as great, it will be easily understood that the War of 1812 in the Old Northwest was more their war than it was Indiana’s. Indiana was only a beachhead in the wilderness. The history of the war as it concerns Indiana is more biographical than geographical, more dramatic than analytic. This paper will treat it that way-as a high tragedy involving two able natural leaders. Like all tragedies, the course of its action gives the feeling that it was inevitable, that nothing could have been done to prevent its fatal termination. The story is the drama of the struggle of two of our most eminent predecessors, William Henry Harrison of Grouseland, Vincennes, and Tecumseh of the Prophet’s town, Tippecanoe. It is not easy to learn about wilderness Indians. The records of the Indians are those kept by white men, who were not inclined to give themselves the worst of it. Lacking authentic documents, historians have neglected the Indians. The story of the Indian cun be told but it has a higher probability of error than more conventional kinds of history. To tell the tale is like reporting the weather without scientific instruments. The reporter must be systematically, academically skeptical. He must read between the lines, looking for evidence of a copper-colored ghost in a deerskin shirt, flitting through a green and bloody world where tough people died from knives, arrows, war clubs, rifle bullets, and musket balls, and where the coming of spring was not necessarily an omen of easier living, but could make a red or white mother tremble because now the enemy could move concealed in the forest.

  • Lake Tippecanoe Kosciusko County Fish Management Report– 2006
    Lake Tippecanoe Kosciusko County Fish Management Report– 2006 Jed Pearson, fisheries biologist Fisheries Section Indiana Department of Natural Resources Division of Fish and Wildlife I.G.C.-South, Room W273 402 W. Washington Street Indianapolis, IN 46204 2006 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Lake Tippecanoe and the Oswego basin is an 851-acre natural lake located 2 miles west of North Webster. A state-owned boat ramp is available on Armstrong Road. Lake Tippecanoe is moderately fertile, although the main basin is less fertile. During summer, enough oxygen for fish in the top 15-20 feet. Eurasian water milfoil is the dominant aquatic plant and is treated with herbicides. Eel grass has become more common, while spatterdock and water lilies are scarce. Recent fish management efforts have centered on muskie stockings and imposition of bass size limits. To obtain information on the fish community, a survey was done on June 19-22, 2006. Effort included 75 minutes of electrofishing, nine gill net lifts, and nine trap net lifts. During the survey, 988 fish were collected and total weight was 576 pounds. Bluegills dominated the catch by number (39%), followed by largemouth bass (13%), and gizzard shad (13%). Carp ranked first in weight (17%), followed by bass (13%) and shad (11%). Bluegills were 2.0-8.5 inches long, but the electrofishing catch rate was very low. Bass were 4.1-17.7 inches long but only six were legal-size. No muskies were captured. Lake Tippecanoe has a diverse and relatively stable fish community. The survey results suggest the average size of bluegills may have increased over the past 10 years but the percentage of 14-inch and larger bass remains low despite imposition of size limits.
