Slaget ved Tippecanoe
Future US president William Henry Harrison led a force of approximately 1000 men to victory against Shawnee chief Tecumseh at the Battle of Tippecanoe in present-day Indiana. According to Harrison Tecumseh was "one of those uncommon geniuses which spring up occasionally to produce revolutions and overturn the established order of things." This fight also led to Tecumseh's death in 1813, when he fell in the Battle of the Thames.
Union general William Tecumseh Sherman was named after the legendary Shawnee chief.

About svartkrutt.net
About
Svartkrutt.net is owned and maintained me whose name is Øyvind Flatnes. I'm a Norwegian black powder shooter and I started this web site in February 2000. The ambition was to provide Norwegians with a black powder site in our native language, but since then most of the content is also translated to English. I'm also the author of a black powder book, which was published in March 2005. This book is currently available in Norwegian only.
On svartkrutt.net you can read my articles about various black powder related activities, participate on the international discussion board, chat or find interesting black powder or antique firearms on the market pages. The discussion forum has become a valuable archive of interesting articles. Sign up and participate!
