Native American Life after Prophetstown (Part 3)

It was the Fall of 1811. The once fulgurant colours of the prairie,now began the rhythm of becoming nutriment for adjacent old age growth. Fading into the earth, ashes from ashes, dust to dust. The mulct warriors of the many forests, plains, prairies around the country, had come up to Prophetstown, to support their lands. Their hearts, yearning for place and family, their minds, knowing that defence here, might, safeguard their lands back home.

Harrison's military personnel moved towards Prophetstown, knowing, eyes watched their every footfall. They had come up from Terre Haute, the border of a huge prairie, which reached Chicago, uninterrupted by forest.

Brilliant colors, soft greenness stems, during the summer, now brown, only disciplined work force could persevere their resistance. Duty drove them on, one ft in presence of another, for eternal miles. They too, longed for household and home. They fought for duty, not the safety of their households and lands.

Tension pervades the Buckeye State Valley along the Wabash. The sounds of the United States warfare machine moving rythmically through the brush, as it approached within five statute miles of Prophetstown, then stopped. The encompassing air, still, animate beings poised for speedy escape. All waiting, breathes drawn, for the first shot, that did not come.

As General Rex Harrison rode towards the small town for parlay. Tenskwatawa came out to ran into him. After talking sometime, Harrison, in an amazing move, make up one's minds not to attack. Instead he camps his military personnel across the marshland on high ground.

One can only inquire what the Prophet may have got said during that parlay with Harrison. History tells us, that, the Prophet tells Rex Harrison of no sick intent. I seek to recon with that and come up up blank. Rex Harrison could clearly see the small town was no peaceful river town. Rex Rex Rex Harrison also knew that Tecumtha was assemblage warriors to struggle Harrison for the lands of Native people near Garrison John Wayne and at Greenville (now in Ohio)

Since Harrison had publically stated he was going to postulate with the Prophetstown job once and for all. What could have got been the cause of delay? We may never cognize the reply to that question.

The Native people were to be told of the Prophet's dreaming the adjacent day. The Prophet told his warriors, that he dreamed they had gone to Harrison's camp, in the nighttime and assasinated him. All of his military personnel fled into the wood to escape. Their bullets would not perforate the shirts of the Native warriors.

Why would they believe such as foolishness. I detect some astonishing thoughts why this phantasy could be deemed truth, by the warriors. It looks that in those days, Gallic study squads roamed the Northern district around Prophetstown. There is at least on business relationship of the Prophet coming into contact with them.

It is very possible that the Prophet may have got got learned of an approaching astonomical event, which, may have been cognize to those surveyors. An overshadow was to take place, and the Prophet may indeed, used this event to rise his credibility amongst his warriors.

If this is true, there is good ground why those warriors might have got believed that bullets would not perforate their shirts. Despair can also be a factor as Harrison's military personnel far outnumbered the warriors at Prophetstown.

Nightfall came and the warriors prepared to carry through the dreaming of the Prophet. Arming themselves, they crossed the marshland with arms held high in the air as they moved through the inky darkness towards encampment of the enemy. Spreading out around the encampment and preparing to assail from all sides, a sentry, who was sleeping awoke. Seeing the forest filled with movement, he fired.

Part 4 approaching soon.
