they expected to unite all the Northwestern
Xnbes of Indians against the Winces. They
went from village to village, makinz inflim
matory harrangues and appealing to every
passion of cruelly, rapine, and revenge.
Gen.-Harrison immediately, adop'ed meas
tires to place the Territory jn a situation for
defence. The intrigues of Tecumseli and
t)je Prophet, thongh .not although unavail
ing, did not meet with complete success un
til 131 1, when the approach of. ai war be

boldened the savages and mad & t hem more
anxious than ever, for the massacre of the
settlers. They assembled their wamors in

Under his command, commenced his march
and being compelled to pass through a
counlrv which afioided every facility for at
tack to the Indians, was forced to; exercise
the greatest precaution and vigilance, On
t'he' morning of the 17th of November, , the
irmy having encamped in the vicinity i of
