PERSONAL NARRATIVE.38
carried on a profitable trade during the fall of 1811 & had made large credits to the Sacks and Foxes for which I was to be paid in fur in the spring. Unfortunately for me the Battle of Tippecanoe was fought and the Indians were defeated. One hundred Winebagos were in that battle; they had been to Maiden that summer on a visit to their British Father & on their return stopped at the Prophet's town and in the battle lost 25 men.
