History: During the War of 1812, Tecumseh lead an alliance of Native American tribes who joined with the British in the goal of preventing future American encroachments on their territory. These hopes were dashed when the British were defeated at the Battle of the Thames in October of 1813 and Tecumseh was killed. The site of his death is marked by this monument.
