The history of Clinton County, Iowa, containing a history of the county, its cities, towns &c., biographical sketches of citizens . the place.When the officers of the new territory reached the post, they found it inruins, and the inhabitants scattered throughout the country. Rebuild-ing, however, soon commenced, and ere long the town contained morehouses than before the fire, and many of them much better built. While this was being done, Indiana had passed to the second gradeof government, and through her General Assembly had obtained largetracts of land from the Indian tribes. To all this the celebrated Indian, Tecumthe or Tecumseh, vigorously protested, and it was the main causeof his attempts to unite the various Indian tribes in a conflict with thesettlers.

They removed from Florida about the middle of the last centuryto the birthplace of Tecumseh. In 1774, his father, who had risen to bechief, was slain at the battle of Point Pleasant, and not long after Tecum-seh, by his bravery, became the leader of his tribe.
