Quotation from: The Beginner's American History

Written by: D.H. Montgomery


Harrison won the victory. He not only killed many of the Indians,
but he marched against their village, set fire to it, and burned it
to ashes.


[Illustration: THE BATTLE OF TIPPECANOE.]


After that the Indians in that part of the country would not listen
to the "Prophet." They said, He is a liar; his beans didn't save us.

Indian tribes from uniting and beginning a great war all through the
west. Governor Harrison received high praise for what he had done,
and was made a general in the United States army.
