Thus Fell Tecumseh

Frank Kuron is a life long resident of Toledo.  He has been an early American history enthusiast most of his adult life and authored his first book, Thus Fell Tecumseh.  His presentation reviews many of the eye-witness testimonies to Tecumseh's death at the  Battle of the Thames in 1813.  It was Richard M. Johnson who rode the wave of credit for having killed Tecumseh, all the way to the vice-presidency of the U.S in 1836; but there is an overwhelming amount of evidence suggested someone else may have actually done this deed. "Rumpsey-dumpsey, rumpsey-dumpsey, did Colonel Johnson really kill Tecumseh?"  To register for this event, go to the library website, www-Huntington-woods.lib.mi.us and click on the events calendar or call 248.543.9720.  Funding for this program is provided by the Friends of the Huntington Woods Library.
