Tecumseh, the great chief of the American Shawnee Indians, who organized an Indian confederacy to resist white encroachments in the Ohio-Indiana area, was once in negotiations with General Harrison. Harrison wanted to get a guarantee from Tecumseh that open hostilities would not soon result. He ordered a chair brought for the Indian chief.
