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.
