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."
