Military Genealogy & History
Biography of TecumsehTecumseh came to fear the increasing movement of white settlers on to Indian lands as settlers came across the Appalachian Mountains. He organized a confederacy of Indian tribes to stop white settlement. While his wish was to accomplish this by peaceful means he was prepared to lead the tribes in war. When the War of 1812 began Tecumseh joined the British side. He gathered a large Indian army in Upper Canada and took part in several skirmishes on the Detroit frontier. His plan for the capture of Fort Detroit was used successfully by General Isaac Brock. Tecumseh's last fight was against an American force at the Battle of the Thames on October 15,1813. It was an American victory and a serious loss to the British. Tecumseh was killed. His death was a terrible blow to the British side.
