"Rumpsey-dumpsey, Rumpsey-dumpsey, Colonel Johnson killed Tecumseh
" Did he really? Such was the slogan craftily used by Richard M.
Johnson's campaign strategists to win him the vice-presidency of
the United States in 1836, but . . . If you enjoy solving a real
mystery, the death of Tecumseh is a classic in the annals of
American history. How this great Shawnee Chief fell at the Battle
of the Thames in 1813, and by whose hand, has been the subject of
debate for almost two hundred years. Between the covers of this
book are quotes from over one hundred and sixty people who had
something to say about this event. If their stories agreed with
each other there would be no mystery - but they don't Political
interests, friendships, family, honor, glory, and even simple
misinterpretations have colored these accounts. You are the one
challenged to separate fact from fiction. Can you do it? The
Northwest Territory wasn't secured for the Americans until Tecumseh
fell along the Thames River. Before you arrive at this battleground
to review his demise, march along with the participants, learn of
the hardships they faced and gain insight into the preliminary
battles they had to fight - all from their own words. In the
process you'll acquire a new appreciation for the character,
courage and determination of all the men involved in acquiring the
frontier lands of 1813 for their respective nations; be they
British, Indian, American or Canadian.
