| Description | "Tippecanoe Battle Ground Octbr. 8th 1869." AMs, 3 p. (written on back of preprinted insurance forms) |
| Description Continued | The impassible swamp below the Battleground that existed in 1840 is now a fertile cornfield farmed by Hiram Shaw, whose house stands behind it. Many Indian skeletons have been found during the reclamation of that land. The rock now called "Prophet's Rock" was actually the famous "Rattlesnake den, " while the Prophet during the battle actually adopted a position on the other side of the river, where retreat was easier. That spot is well known, and is on a gentle rise (position described). George Winter paced off the distance from Shaw's house to his barn, which stands near a duck pond G.W. also noticed in 1840. Solomon Shaw now lives on the farm on the site of Prophet's Town, and he gave G.W. an axe blade and lead bar found at that spot. |
