Tecumseh was killed in the fight on the Thames." There are also many other items on the War of 1812 including a "Proclamation" signed by. Wm. H. Harrison and reports with small heads including: "Military--Hampton's Army" "The Lakes" "General Orders" "American Prizes" & "Naval". Also included is a full column text of the "Speech Of Tecumseh" rarely found in period newspapers.
Complete in 16 pages, 6 1/4 by 9 3/4 inches, great condition.
