White invasion into Native traditional lands, caused widespread resentment, among the many tribes, occupying river small towns along the Wabash. Garrison Ouiatenon, stonghold of the British in 1795, lent support, to the Native people, who now struggled to maintain their land.

Settlers, are beginning to put claim, to put down so close, to these Wabash River river villages, that Native people get to bust their settlements, and booty their cabins and horses.

The phase is now set for the reaching of Tecumseh, warfare head of the Shawnee. Pushed from their lands, Tecumtha and his brother, the Prophet, Tenskwatawa, get in the upper Wabash River river area. Invited by the Potawatomie, the Shawnee blood brothers get building their warfare village.

Refered to by some, as Tippecanoe, others, as Prophetstown. This small town goes populated by many tribes. Miami, Kickapoo, Delaware, Fox, Mascouton, and others.

Word leaks out to General Rex Harrison about the missionary post of Tecumtha and his brother. Rex Harrison called for respective meetings with Tecumseh, wanting reassurance, about his intent. Tecumtha come ups to the meeting with boldness, and arrogance, uncharacteristic of most Native people.

Tecumseh denounces the chiefs, of the other tribes, who signed land away, with Harrison's, Treaty at Garrison Wayne. He defiantly endangers those chief's lives, branding them as traitors.

Tecumseh, had no territorial rights, to the countries signed away in the treaty, yet, he denounced those heads who would subscribe land away, which, belonged to all the people. Without the consent of all the People, Tecumtha would not acknowledge the treaty's validity.

With the backing of the Wyandot's warfare chiefs, Tecumseh's menaces became more than frightening. The Wyandot's were feared by all. Living on the southern shores of Lake Erie, they ruled the encompassing lands through fearfulness and intimidation.

Tecumseh, had respective meetings with General Harrison, through the old age of 1808-1811, and, most were tense, but, one in peculiar was near disaterous.

In August of 1810, while attending a meeting with Harrison, words pushed their limit, guns were drawn, blades were unsheathed, and a conflict came within secs of taking place. Rex Harrison avoided that conflict in Vincennes, by ordering his work force to set their arms down.

Between all this confrontation and bravado, warriors were filtering into Prophetstown. Tecumtha travelled near and far, directing his rhetoric into the common sense of Native people, with the adeptness of a surgeon. Appealing to their ain pending loss of land and life, they ralleyed around him, like magnets to iron.

Directing his troops, equally as well, Rex Harrison marshalled military personnel to a assemblage point in Terre Haute. They built, Garrison Rex Harrison in October 1811 and moved northeasterly, towards Prophtstown. Harrison, set on settling this Native job once and for all moved nervously along the Wabash. He cautiously avoided countries of entrapment, knowing that he was being watched by those who would kill him, and his troops.
