"In response to the efforts of Shawnee Chief Tecumseh and his brother, The Prophet, to unite the Indian Nations of the Northwest and Southwest Territories to resist American expansion, Governor of the Indiana Territory William Henry Harrison led a force of about 1,000 men to the Shawnee settlement at the Great Clearing, where Tippecanoe Creek flows into the Wabash. On November 7, 1811, Harrison's army defeated the Shawnee led by The Prophet and sacked their village, in the process destroying all hope that Tecumseh had for an Indian confederacy. The American victory here was also an important cause of the the second war with Britain (1812-1815)." - National Historic Landmark summary
