Prophetstown & A Presidential Curse!!! | History Traveler Episode 113

Following the Battle of Tippecanoe (which can be seen in episode 112), William Henry Harrison and his men marched on the Native American's settlement of Prophetstown to burn it to the ground. While nothing remains of the original settlement, a reconstruction of the village has been set up on the original site that we are exploring. Also, we're taking a look at a curse that was supposedly placed on the U.S. presidents by The Prophet himself. Interesting!

    In the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 we really do have some strange almost comical place names, and in my opinion the USA 🇺🇸 has their fare share as well, and in this case Tippe Canoe 🛶 is a good example, obviously the name comes from the native language and I don’t want to offend, however, Tippe Canoe sounds like a landing spot for people travelling on the waterways, and at night they tip over their canoe’s to dry out overnight, it doesn’t translate into words the way I see it in my warped mind. 😀👍🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

    I grew up on a farm in eastern Ohio. The Shawnee and Wyandotte native americans used to fight over the area because of the hunting grounds. There were several burial sites there. We used to find arrow heads there all of the time. We even found one that dated back past these tribes as it was 3,000 years old!

    Eckert's books are fun reads as novels, but as history they should be taken with a big grain of salt. For instance, he hyped the myth that the Shawnee war leader Blue Jacket was actually a white man named Swearingen who had been kidnapped by the Shawnee as a child. Historians have thoroughly debunked this myth by, among other means, DNA tests of the descendants of Blue Jacket and the Swearingen family which showed no relationship whatsoever. Those tests didn't exist when Eckert was writing his books, be he still should have known better since the story didn't first appear until decades after Blue Jacket's death. There were zero contemporary references to Blue Jacket being white and had he been so, that fact obviously would have figured prominently in any accounts written about him during his lifetime.

    I had no idea about the curse, that is very interesting. The structures are very cool to see, most of the Native Americans in this region (Southwest) were much more nomadic, and had many ranges depending on season. So, it is neat to see a culture that would have been much more stable and had more settled lifestyle and permanent structures. Thanks for sharing! 👍

    Thanks for pointing out about the buildings. Cherokee and other Eastern tribes used "lodge houses" and other buildings prior to the influx of European technology and building skills because they were more established in permanent villages and living areas than Plains and Southwestern Native Americans who were more transient, moving with seasons to access water, food and game. By the time period of Tecumseh and the Native Americans along the Natchez Trace that you covered earlier, most eastern tribes were using tools purchased from or made from European and American materials and building cabins and houses although the "Medicine Hut" is an example of a "modern" build keeping tranditional designs.

    I really enjoyed listening to Episode 112 and 113 hearing about the Battle of TIppecanoe and Prophetstown. A really great job telling the story. There is an interesting piece regarding the battle that you may have missed. General Harrison's march to Prophetstown. Harrison was following along the Wabash River on his march north from the Territorial Capitol in Vincennes until he received word that the Native Americans had planned to ambush him at a choke point along the river on their route north. Harrison diverted his march away from the river and well north of the river traveling through what is today the northern end of Warren County, Indiana. Harrison avoided the ambush and safely reached his destination near Prophetstown. Legend has it that Zacriah Cicott, a trader and early white settler to the area, let Harrison know of the ambush after being informed of it by a daughter of a chief known to white settlers as Kate. Kate according to legend was cast into a pond and drowned for telling Harrison of their plans.The pond, an 80 acre lake, is still today known as Kate's Pond.

Extraordinary history in a fictional setting. Prophetstown has a very strange vibe to it. Perhaps from the battle and destruction. America, as in the US military may have won the battle of Tippecanoe. But America lost because of the history that has been lost, And the inhilation of the Native Americans.

    Wyandot were confederated with the Iroquois. They stretched right up into the area of Southern Ontario. Midland Ontario was where the Jesuits built a mission in 1639 called Saint Marie Among the Hurons (this was the French name for this tribe) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sainte-Marie_among_the_Hurons en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wyandot_people There are also Wendat (Wyandot) people around Quebec City. In 1649 Saint Marie was burned down by the Jesuits when the Iroquois threatened to attack. The Wendat were farmers and sided with the French settlers. After the failure of Ste. Marie many families moved to Quebec City with the Jesuits.

    It was a vice bench you sat down on it put your work in it pushed on the bottom of it with your feet and it locked you’re work in so you could use a draw knife for shaping. Great video you do such a good job

    At Prophet's Town State Park, they have monuments that show the known Native Nations that were part of Tecumseh's Confederation. Another area you may have enjoyed visiting and learning about is about 40-50 miles north of Battle Ground, the Grand Kankakee Marsh, "The Everglades of the North". It is a fraction of the size it was historically after the dredging of the Kankakee River and the draining of the Marsh but lots of history there that is often overlooked.

    9:07 "... mispronounced correctly..." LOL! Love it JD. That one's just slicker n' snake snot. ;-) You arent by chance a country boy are ya? Lots of folksy saying come out of the rural community. -- The object at 3:45 looks like a draw-knife bench. You sit down on one end by straddling it and then place your workpiece under the board on the top surface. By putting your feet on the board underneath you can clamp the work down. Then use your draw-knife to shape the workpiece. I think alot of wooden spokes for wagon wheels were made this way, being able to clamp and release the work quickly. -- Did you notice that only one building was built on a stone foundation? The grainery. Thats to keep burrowing animals out of it. Aw shoot, I shoulda called them "varmints". :-\ lol -- Thanx for the tour. You might wanna invest in some Carhartt overalls. Nice n toasty.

    The bench you saw is a leather vise. You put what ever piece of leather beteeen the two parts sticking up on top. One is statiinary the other is connected to the pedle underneath. When you set on the bench and press the peddle underneath it causes the upper pieces to clamp together holding the leather tight so you can shape it and sew it. You usually found these in a cobblers shop. But it can be used to process any kind of leather product.

    Even if the Native Americans won the Battle of Tippecanoe, it would not have stopped the eventual War of 1812 and the expansion of the White Man in the Northwest Territory. The Treaty of Ghant in 1814 gave the USA the rights to officially take this Territory as their Land and access to the Great Lakes. Victory for the USA. Although the Canadian Border/ Boundry was initially settled the original Maritime Issues over the War in 1812 were never really settled. Uneasiness over Maine's recognized Border with Canada began with an 1830 Census Crisis in Northern Maine. The (Pseudo) Aroostook War of 1838 -1839 was peacefully settled by the Webster - Ashburton Treaty of 1842. This prevented a potential conflict with Britain. Currently the Hague is negotiating some unsettled legal Boundaries between Canada and the USA that have never really been finalized to this day (06/09/2022). The vast number of tribes and their differences would never assist the North American Natives for any sovereign land rights in the Continent. Reservations - Yes. The best cooperative Native Action was Little Bighorn. In the End, they came back from Canada to the USA and differences cost Sitting Bull his life. Same with Crazy Horse and Cochise (Freedom). That Bench in the Chief's Cabin looks like a Work Bench - Vice. Some of those tribes like the Delaware were driven from the Eastern Colonies. At least they kept the land of Prophet Town with some examples of buildings. George W. - recent news is they arrested some people in a plot to kill him over the Invasion of Bagdad. Thanks for a Great Series of Videos. I have a lot of interest in Native American History. Hope I'm not over doing my Comments. Thanks.

    @the history underground The old south saying "GOD WILLING AND THE CREEK DON'T RISE" Was an answer given most often when someone asked for example "brother Smith will we see you Sunday morning for church?" The meaning, I thought was like waters in creeks etc and also very poor English. The actual meaning referenced the Creek Indians. For instance Stone Mountain Georgia is one area where native tribe the Creek and the Cherokee both occupied and eventually merged before the Trail of Tears happened. If we Europeans owe anyone anything we owe our native people restitution and appreciation.

    I'm late to the party, but I'm pretty sure that bench in the first building is a shave horse for woodworking. Sassafras root makes root beer and the dried leaves make gumbo filet. It's a thickening agent but like okra, it doesn't add much flavor.

    JD, to point out a few things in assistance if I may. The council house is equivalent to a tribal longhouse, the Wyandotte (or the French name) Wendat were Huron. What I find somewhat displeasing is at Tippee Canoe there's no significant monument or place of respect to the Native Americans who stood against Harrison & the Blue Coats, however all kind of monuments to the fallen military men. They could have had more at Prophetstown as well. The aggressive maneuvers by Harrison and his troops to continually steal land to which he pursued Tecumseh & the Native Confederacy into Ontario Canada to a place called the Battle on Thames to which Tecumseh & the strong heart Brothers stood against Harrison & the invading Blue Coats. I've told this many times, if Tecumseh would of aligned himself with the French instead of the cowardice British, perhaps things might have been different, perhaps not. At the Battle of Thames what was left of the British regulars, and troop garrison fled and left the battlefield to Tecumseh and the Native / First Nation forces to defend against Harrison and a larger contingent of Blue coats. After which Harrison took to force marching on Moraviantown , a First Nations community, which is where tribal women, children, and elders were living. Harrison in his pursuing rage looked to destroy that village and commit murder before leading his troops back across the border. Basically an M.O. fingerprint to the US policy against the Native tribes which still stains this Country's history.
