The Battle of Corydon
The Battle of Mississinewa 1812

Yet, through the first half of the 1800s, treaties dictated the forced removal of Indians from Indiana. In Plymouth, a statue of Potawatomi Chief Menominee commemorates the Trail of Death march his tribe made between Indiana and Kansas in 1838, a more-than-600-mile journey during which many men, women and children died. A series of 16 signs also pays tribute to the trail the tribe followed through Tippecanoe County. For more information: (574) 936-2306; www.visitmarshallcounty.org.

The Battle of Mississinewa 1812 A search and destroy mission, the Battle of the Mississinewa was one of the major engagements fought during the War of 1812. It marked the first offensive victory of the American army during the war in what is now known today as Marion, Indiana. In September 1812, William Henry Harrison was put in command of the army. His orders: Protect the western frontier and
recapture Fort Detroit. Harrison believed the Indian villages along the Mississinewa River were being used as a staging area for Indian attacks on his army. The two-day engagement had cost the lives of 12 federal troops and another 48 had been wounded. As many as 45 Indians may have died in the conflict defending their lands. The Mississinewa Expedition was the most successful of Harrison’s military actions in the fall of 1812.

nearly triple in size from 1,300 square feet to 3,700 square feet. “We are known for our excellent collection of american and european art,” interim director Carl Schafer says. “the expansion allows us equal exhibition space for non-Western works of art.” the diversity of non-Western art at the museum has been made possible in large part by david t. owsley, the grandson of frank C. Ball, who was instrumental in founding the museum in the 1930s. owsley is an art historian and active
collector. He began making gifts to the museum in the 1960s and since then has provided more than 2,300 works of art to the collection. His curiosity and his generosity can be seen throughout the museum that bears his name.
