GC09 1/9th Tecumseh - Shawnee £23.75

The son of a Shawnee chief, Tecumseh (the Crouching Panther) was born in 1768 near what now is Springfield, Ohio. He soon distinguished himself as a leader and for his humane qualities in persuading his people to discontinue the then common practice of torturing prisoners. In the pursuit of his vision of a Great Indian State as an opposition to the white man's advance, he visited tribes from Florida to the headwaters of the Missouri River trying to bring them into his union. His plans collapsed after his brother Tenskwatawa's defeat by American troops in the untimely Battle of Tippecanoe. Tecumseh went to Canada and sided with the British in the War of 1812. He was made a brigadier-general in command of 2000 warriors of allied tribes and finally met defeat and death at the Battle of the Thames on October 5, 1813. The model depicts Tecumseh in hunting coat and ruffled linen shirt. He wears the silver gorgets and a George III medal presented by the British. His headgear is a gastoweh typical of the Shawnee and other related Eastern tribes. Draped over his shoulder is a wampum belt, a symbol of authority representing treaty signing between the tribes.
