Tecumseh

Tecumseh, a Shawnee chief and ally of the British during the War of 1812, fought American forces on this site on October 4, 1813. Born in 1768, he became an important organizer of native resistance to the spread of white settlement in North America. The day after the fighting here, he was killed in the Battle of the Thames near Moraviantown. Tecumseh Park was named for his strong will and determination.
