		Legend has it that the so-called "Presidential Death Cycle" was the result of a prophecy given by a Shawnee Indian chieftan named Tecumseh who worked with his brother Tenskwatawa to unite other Indian tribes to oppose white expansion into the west in the early 1800s.

		His death was seen as the first in a long series of presidential death's due to Tecumseh's Curse: Presidents elected in a year ending in a zero would die in office.
