Tippacone and Tyler too!

This is the entrance to the Tippecanoe battleground in Battleground, IN.  That's Suzanne and Gary with us.

After we walked around the battleground we toured the museum.  William Henry Harrison was the American general who won the Tippecanoe battle with the Indians led by The Prophet and his brother Tecumseh.  The Indians were taking a stand against the invading white man.  Harrison was elected the 9th US president but became ill after his inauguration and died a month later.  John Tyler was the VP who then took over the presidency.  I remember this saying from my school days, other than that all I also remember is JUDY! "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too" was a very popular and influential campaign song  of the Whig Party's colorful Log Cabin Campaign in the 1840 United States presidential election. Its lyrics sang the praises of Whig candidates William Henry Harrison (the "hero of Tippecanoe") and John Tyler.
