BATTLE OF TIPPECANOE. But as hostilities between the United States aad Great Britain, became more and more imminent and •certain, the audacity and violence pf the Indians in* creased. In 1811, Tecumthe had assembled a new l)ody of warriors at the Prophet'.^ Town ; and maraud- ing parties roved towards the ' settlements more fre- quently than ever. In the public documents, there is a great body of evidence to show that at that time a general commotion pervaded all the Indian tril)e8. Messengers ...went too and fro; the war belt was circu- lated ; arms and ammunitions were obtained from Upper Canada, in quantities beyond the usual yearly wsue of presents by the British ; and thus every thing indicated the approach of a rising against the United States. The comn^ion of a number of murders en the frontiers of lUinoisLfind Indiana, the usual fore- runners of an Indian war, warned Governor Harrison to take measures for the defence of the Territory, and induced the Government to direct him to move il^th an armed force towards Tippecanoe, the centre and head quarters of all the intrigues of the savages, and the resort of the most desperate .and daring of their men, anc) where it was known that a tbousand hostile Indians were assembled, whom he was directed to dis- perse.
