The Battle of Prophetstown, The Last United American Indian Tribal Coalition

History's Greatest Battles

Prophetstown stands as the historic backdrop for the final grand effort of a fading dream —the last, valiant stand where the scattered tribes of the American Indians sought to forge a united front against the unstoppable tide of white expansion, a final rallying cry before the storm of history swept them aside. Tecumseh and his Red Stick Confederacy, according to many historians, was the last realistic hope of stopping the European westward expansion.
Prophetstown (Tippecanoe). 7th November, 1811.
