Resting Up in Wapakoneta, Ohio

I make it a habit to look into the history of the area I am either driving through or staying in on my travels across this beautiful land...I chose to take a northern route home avoiding Columbus as driving through and around big cities in the Empress is more taxing now after 7 days of driving. As I passed Tippiecanoe I remembered that saying "Tippiecanoe and Tyler too!" and had no idea of where it came from or what it meant. Turns out I was attracted to Tecumseh territory..here it is

Battle of Tippecanoe



Catahecassa Also known as Black Hoof




Tenskwatawa

The famous "Shawnee Prophet," twin brother of Tecumseh.
