Middle West

Middle West, 1812

Tecumseh's Way

     

General Procter and Chief Tecumseh

 

Tecumseh finds General Procter plying the natives with whiskey and goading them into killing unarmed prisoners. Tecumseh rushes to the scene, sword raised and says, Are there no men here?  The killing stops. He criticizes General Proctor, who only says that Indians cannot be controlled. You are unfit to command, Tecumseh counters. I conquer to save, and you to murder.
