#thisdayinarmyhistory 7 NOVEMBER 1811 - Battle of Tippecanoe #IndianWars American troops under the leadership of General William Henry Harrison were fighting the Indian forces of The Prophet, Tenskwatawa (the brother of Tecumseh) in a forest. Tenskwatawa was part of Tecumseh's Indian confederation. After a few minor skirmishes and several additional attempts to negotiate with Tenskwatawa's representatives, the army continued its march over rough terrain toward Prophetstown. By 6 November, the army had arrived within a few miles of its objective on the north bank of the Wabash and prepared to attack, although the Americans were unsure of the strength of the enemy. When the Indians' attack came at 0400 on 7 November, the Indians overwhelmed the pickets. The sudden onslaught threw the men into disorder "before they could be formed in any regular order." The Indians made four or five fierce charges on the army's lines. Harrison was surprised by the Indians' ferocity, but he soon restored order. Many militiamen rallied at the sight of the regulars standing their ground, despite being inexperienced in Indian warfare themselves. As dawn broke, the Indians made a last attempt to break the American line, but part of the 4th Infantry under Maj. Samuel Wells gave three cheers and launched a bayonet attack supported by a detachment of dragoons that finally put Tenskwatawa's warriors "to a precipitate flight." On the day after the battle, 8 November, Harrison sent a detachment of mounted men to Prophetstown. The dragoons entered the town and found only an aged woman, who informed them that the Indians had left in haste immediately after the action. #armyhistory #USArmy #TRADOC #MilitaryHistory #Tippecanoe Posted @withrepost • @armyhistory (at Columbia, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkqecuXODiO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

when i was in elementary school when i lived in Indiana, our librarian's neighbor was a survivor of Mengele and she'd asked her to come in and speak to us.

she'd passed out photos of the scars on her and her sister that i remember so vividly i could draw you a fucking picture of it AND the arrangement of the desks in that room, and i have a terrible memory!!!

anyways i got reminded of this while scrolling through my rss feeds, and i felt really horrible that i remebered her scars but not her name or even a clear image of her face so i looked up my old school and recognized her immediately

Her name is Eva Mosez Kor and she was apparently a local celebrity (i was very young so this is news)?

Here's here Wikipedia page i have more to write but it's 2am and i am not articulate:

Have you heard of Curse of Tippecanoe?

Yes (although I've always called it "Tecumseh's Curse"). In fact, one of the early pieces of writing that I published on this blog was about "Tecumseh's Curse". Here is that post -- which I cleverly titled "Tecumseh's Curse" -- from January 16, 2010 (!).

(I can't believe I've been writing about Presidents on Tumblr for over 15 years.)
