by William Ogden Niles

Book Overview

The Tippecanoe Textbook is a historical book written by William Ogden Niles in 1840. The book is a comprehensive account of the Battle of Tippecanoe, which took place in 1811 between the forces of the United States and a confederation of Native American tribes led by Tecumseh and his brother Tenskwatawa. The book provides a detailed description of the events leading up to the battle, including the tensions between the United States and the Native American tribes, as well as the political and social climate of the time. Niles also goes into great detail about the battle itself, including the strategies used by both sides and the aftermath of the conflict. In addition to its historical content, The Tippecanoe Textbook also provides valuable insights into the attitudes and beliefs of Americans towards Native Americans during the early 19th century. It is a fascinating read for anyone interested in American history, Native American studies, or military history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
