Tecumseh, a Shawnee Native American chief, was born in Circa in 1768, today known as Columbus, Ohio. He lost his father Puckeshinwa in the Battle of Port Pleasant between French and Indian Nations. He was raised by his old sister Tecumpease after his mother Methoataske had abandoned them. Tecumseh and other Shawnees then moved to Missouri. In the early 1800s, Tecumseh went against the U.S and tried to create a confederation of Native American tribes to oppose white settlement.

Tecumseh transported his small group of warriors to Michigan to help British Major-General Sir Isaac Brook in the Siege Detroit. In fear of being massacred, American leader Brigadier-General William Hull surrendered. However, Tecumseh’s jubilation over this conquest would not last long.
Tecumseh joined British Major-General Henry Procter in the Spring of 1813. Both commanded their individual armies in the Siege of Fort Meigs, where they battled against Tecumseh’s old enemy, William Henry Harrison. After Harrison’s army counterattacked, Tecumseh and Procter fled into Canada, to the Thames River. There, Procter assured Tecumseh that he would send supports. Those reinforcements happened to never arrive. On October 5, 1813, Tecumseh’s insignificant army could not handle the invasion of Harrison’s force, and that led to Tecumseh’s death.

Good Morning Vera, Thanks for inviting me to speak in your class. Other than my thesis defense, I 've never read my words out loud to a broader audience. I read somewhere that you wrote your desertion on Kateri Tekakwitha. In my memoir, I wrote about my experience seeing Kateri in Auriesville, NY at the Shrine of the North American Martyr. I looked at my mom all confused, because I had never seen an indian statue by an altar in plain view.

As Americans continued to move out further west and push remaining Native American tribes out of their homeland, one leader of the Shawnee tribe, known as Tecumseh, reached a breaking point against the U.S. “Tecumseh was a great Indian Leader who united all native american nations of the midwest. His goal was to stop the white man. Britain aids Tecumseh’s power army (Hales Ntbk. 25).” Despite the Treaty of Greenville with Native American Tribes, the United States continued to expand rapidly into the Midwest. Tecumseh potentially saw this as a reason to go to war against the U.S before all of their tribes would be eradicated.
Since Bob Brier’s investigations more research has been carried out concerning Tutankhamon’s death but no evidence for murder has been found. The hole in his skull is most likely the result of the mummification process. Another theory concerning the cause of death is a chariot crash. However, the most plausible theory is that he died due to illness. Research of Zahi Hawass, Albert Zink et al.¹ shows that Tutankhamun had several diseases, including malaria.
