Usage examples of "tippecanoe".
Whereas Harrison had been the victor in two of the major battles of the war, Tippecanoe and the Thames.
Despite his victories at Tippecanoe and the Thames, Harrison’s resignation from the army in 1814 as a result of his clash with Secretary of War Armstrong had inevitably removed some of the luster from his reputation.
What was more important was that, second only to Andrew Jackson, he was widely considered the nation’s greatest “Injun fighter” because of his victories over Tecumseh’s alliance at Tippecanoe and the Thames.
