10058 - Tecumseh 1810-13

The city of Chillicothe, Ohio has fully embraced its connection to the great Shawnee chief, Tecumseh. The Scioto River and nearby tributaries were home to several Shawnee villages in the first half of the 18^th century. It is believed that Tecumseh was born here, and he certainly fought to protect this homeland in his youth. In 1807 Tecumseh returned to
Chillicothe, speaking on the statehouse steps to calm the public’s fears that he was fostering an uprising. He was considered a gifted orator, and the local paper spoke of how impressed people were with him. Today, visitors to Chillicothe can experience the life of this great leader at the acclaimed outdoor drama, Tecumseh! 
Our miniature of Tecumseh was designed by W. Britain and is sold exclusively at The History Store.
