Fought on November 7, 1811, near the Prophetstown settlement on the Tippecanoe River in Indiana Territory, the battle pitted U.S. troops under Gov. William Henry Harrison against warriors gathered around the Shawnee leader Tenskwatawa, known as the Prophet. The engraving was made in 1859, nearly five decades after the fight, so it reflects how Americans later remembered the clash. The battle's reputation grew after Harrison's 1840 presidential campaign adopted the slogan "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too," tying his name to this frontier engagement.
