Profiting by his own early experience, and the remembered example of his old friend and commander, General Wayne, his march through a wild country to Tippecanoe, was conducted with so much pru- dence, that he avoided all danger of ambuscade or surprise from the savage foe. On the Cth of November the army arrived within five or six miles of the Prophet's town. According to the in- structions he had received from the President, Governor Harrison immediately sent in a flag of truce, to endeavor to... open an ami. Cable negotiation with the hostile Indians. To this overture the prophet returned a deceitful reply — he professed the most pacific intentions, and agreed to meet Harrison the next day m council, with his chiefs, to settle definitely the terms of peace. But Har- 13 rison knew too well the treachery of his artful antagonist, to allow himself to be deceived by his specious professions, or lulled into any fancied security. He carefully selected the most eligible and defensible position for his encampment, and ordered his troops to lie upon their arms all night, that they might be in readiness, at a moment's warning, to repel any sudden attack of the enemy.
