Book Description
An in-depth exploration of the battle of Tippecanoe, precursor to the War of 1812, where US forces under William Henry Harrison defeated the Native American forces near Prophetstown. 'The prophet's battle' was a conflict born out of festering tensions inscribed by the 1795 Treaty of Greeneville, which had concluded the Northwestern Indian War and attempted to prevent white settlers' encroaching onto newly defined Indian territories. For 16 years there had been peace, but in 1811 the number of settlers in the Ohio territory had swollen from 3,000 to 250,000. War was again coming to the North West. Within these pages John F. Winkler explores the dramatic build up to the conflict as 'The Prophet' Tenskatawa and his brother Tecumseh rallied the tribes to drive back the American settlers once and for all. Through superb illustrations and maps, Winkler provides a clear view of the intense fighting that followed at Tippecanoe and the true impact that it would come to have on the War of 1812.

Those Kids Deserve Water Too: A History of the Patoka Lake Regional Water and Sewer District
Author: David L. Dahl
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1684700795
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
Fifty years ago, as America sent men to the moon, thousands in southern Indiana relied on water supplies little changed from pioneer days-cisterns or shallow wells often poor in quality, high in sulfur, or otherwise contaminated. During droughts when tanks ran dry, and wells failed, water for drinking, cooking, and bathing was trucked from springs or nearby towns. For decades, local leaders struggled to quench their communities' thirst. In 1975, that all changed with the creation of the Patoka Lake Regional Water and Sewer District which provides drinking water to thirty-three water utilities and thousands of residential and commercial customers scattered across eleven counties in southwestern Indiana-an area that uniquely lacked readily available water. A new generation has grown accustomed to a ready supply of clean water. In Those Kids Deserve Water Too, author David L. Dahl tells how the district changed life for thousands of Hoosiers.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 498
Book Description
"After an adventurous prospecting trip to Indiana Territory in 1805, Purty Tom Montgomery and his seven grown children leave their Kentucky homes for Indiana Territory, crossing the Ohio River at the Falls of the Ohio, near Louisville. On the Indian side of the river they travel the famous Buffalo Trace, created over the millennia by migrating buffalo, and settle in the Wabash Valley, south of the old French city, Vincennes. As William Henry Harrison, Governor of the Indiana Territory obtains cessions of Indian lands, one after the other, friction between settlers and Indians escalates. Hostility reaches an explosive stage when Tensketawa (The Prophet) and his brother, Tecumseh, seek to reverse the cessions, drive the whites out, and lead Indians back to old ways. Something had to give. Settlers are as determined to stay as the Indians are for them to leave. The final solution is war, culminating in the Battle of Tippecanoe."--From back cover.
