THE BATTLE OF TIPPECANOE: NOVEMBER 7, 1811

• As a creek goes Burnett's Creek is small, routine- even ordinary.

• Yet during the first week of November, 200 years ago the crossing of this creek would lead to war between Britain and the United States.

• Native American forces led by The Prophet(Tenskwatawa) launched a surprise attack upon the encamped armed forces of the U.S. government led by General William Henry Harrison.

• Harrison would use the fame from The Battle of Tippecanoe to help him win The White House in the Presidential Election of 1840.
