Chief Tecumseh, a prominent Native American leader of the Shawnee, participated in numerous battles throughout his life, particularly during the War of 1812. While the exact number of battles is difficult to determine, he was notably involved in significant conflicts such as the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811 and the Battle of Lake Erie in 1813. His military leadership was instrumental in attempts to unite various tribes against American expansion. Overall, Tecumseh is credited with fighting in several key engagements, although specific counts may vary.
Yes, he was nationally known for his war exploits. William Henry Harrison -- would be become the ninth US president to serve the briefest time -- was called the hero of the Battle of Tippecanoe (1811). He won a relatively small engagement against Chief Tecumsah's confederation of tribes and made Indiana safe for American expansion. Two years later, at the Battle of the Thames, he defeated a British Major General who was assisted by Tecumsah. The Indian Chief was killed and the British general escaped alive only to face a court-martial later. The Battle of the Thames was essentially the second half of the Battle of Lake Erie during the War of 1812. Harrison died after only a month in office.
Prophetstown was established at the confluence of the Tippecanoe and Wabash Rivers in 1808. Tenskwatawa (Tecumseh's brother) was a holy man in his tribe.
