"I saw chiefs from all the valley tribes, Wyandots, Shawnees, Miamis, Lenni-Lenape, Ottawas, and Illinois," replied Henry, "and they've bound themselves together for a great war. Their bands are on the march now to the meeting place on the Ohio, opposite the mouth of the Licking. The renegades, too, are with the Wyandots, Mr. Boone.
He saw the camp dimly, the dark figures of the warriors becoming shadowy now, the murmur of voices sinking to a whisper that could scarcely be heard, and then, in spite of his bound arms and precarious future, he slept. Henry's two guards, both Wyandots, regarded him with admiration, as he slept peacefully with the low firelight flickering across his tanned face.
He made a little circle, searching the forest with eye and ear, but he found no sign that the Wyandots were near. He did not believe that they had given up the pursuit, but he was quite sure that they had not been able to find his last trail in the night.
What say you, Timmendiquas, sworn brother of mine, great warrior and great chief of the Wyandots, the bravest of all the western nations?" The eye of Timmendiquas expressed little, but his voice was sonorous, and his words were such as Thayendanegea wished to hear. "If we fight and we must fight this is the place in which to meet the white army," he said.
On the way to the Colonel's house Isaac told briefly of his escape from the Wyandots, of his capture by Cornplanter, and of his rescue. He also mentioned the preparations for war he had seen in Cornplanter's camp, and Girty's story of Col. Crawford's death. "How does it come that you have the Indian girl with you?" asked Col. Zane as they left the curious settlers and entered the house.
He himself would join, if he lived, in the country of the Winnebagos which was Wisconsin. Delawares, Senecas, Chief Crane's Wyandots and the majority of the Shawnees themselves refused to rise against the Americans. The other Indians waited for stronger signs. But they did not need to wait long. Tecumseh's star became fixed in the sky he won the first battle of the war and won it for the British.
Tecumseh visits the Wyandots governor Harrison's letter about the Prophet to the Secretary at War British influence over the Indians Tecumseh burns governor Harrison's letter to the chiefs great alarm in Indiana, in consequence of the assemblage of the Indians at Tippecanoe death of Leatherlips, a Wyandot chief on a charge of witchcraft.
The Delawares, the Miamis, the Kickapoos, most of the Wyandots, were for peace with the Americans, and for letting the British alone. So were the Potawatomis; they accused the Prophet of leading them falsely. Captain Elliott, the traitor and British agent, threatened to have the Wyandots arrested for their talk.
The Governor's display of force on the Wabash had not had the desired effect. While some of the Weas were returning to their villages, and the Wyandots were reported to be urging the tribes to fall away from the Prophet, still the spirit of treachery was abroad in the whole Wabash country.
The victories of the savages marked a course of blood from the Alleghanies to the Mississippi. On May 16, 1763, the Wyandots surrounded Fort Sandusky, and under pretence of a friendly visit several of them well known to Ensign Paully, the commander, were admitted.
