General William H. Harrison at the Battle of Tippecanoe
| Description: |
The lithograph pictures General Harrison with his army at the Battle of Tippecanoe. The caption at the bottom of the lithograph reads: Upon one occasion, as he (Genl. Harrison) was approaching an angle of the Line, against which the Indians were advancing with horrible yells, Lieut. Emmerson seized the Bridle of his Horse, and earnestly entreated that he would not go there; but the Governor, putting spurs to his Horse, pushed on to the point of Attack, where the Enemy were received with firmness and driven back. (Vide. Hist. Battle Tippecanoe.) [Emison family descendants have claimed that in this lithograph Lt. Emmerson is actually Lt. Thomas Emison.] |
