Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Tippecanoe Battle-Field Monument: A History of the Association Formed to Promote the Enterprise
We should not be unmindful of our soldiers who fell on the field of Tippe canoe, and whose exertions when living, and whose blood in death, made and cemented the foundations of our prosperity. The ridge upon which they lie should be consecrated as a national altar, for it has been saturated with the blood of heroes. The State' should erect a monument On'fthat battle-field. The necessity of enforcing principles Of patriotism among our youth needs no vindication - and by what livlier emblem can they be taught than by planting upon our battle-fields the ever-living marble inscription, with the names of the valiant men who generously left their lives there? Teach the young men, from the examples Of Daviess and Spencer and Warwick and White, and those who fell with them, to be ready, when the emergency arises, to die for their country.
