About This Item

Pamphlet 8vo, disbound, folding table, 24pp. Foxed toned and soiled, darkening to left side of first two leaves, a small tear on the folding table and last leaf almost detached. Overall in good shape. The pamphlet talks about Harrison’s campaign against a confederation of Indian tribes, including the Kickapoos and Potawatamies at the battle of Tippecanoe. In transmitting Harrison’s report to congress, President James Madison expresses his pleasure with the victory, stating the “defeat and dispersion of the savages” was a good thing. Obviously, President Madison’s remarks indicate he was a man of his times. While Tippecanoe was a victory for the Americans, the cost was somewhat high. The table included indicates that 62 soldiers were killed and another 126 were wounded, which is rather high for that period. Howes H247 Streeter 1739 Not In Field
