 | | Some distance westward is the Tippecanoe River, a stream flowing southwest into the Wabash, and thence into the Ohio. |
 | | The word Tippecanoe is said to mean "the great clearing," and on this river was fought the noted battle by " Old Tippecanoe," General William Henry Harrison, against the combined forces of the Shawnees, Miamis and several other tribes, which resulted in their complete defeat. |
 | | The Wabash River, to which reference has been made, receives White River, and is one of the largest affluents of the Ohio, about five hundred and fifty miles long, being navigable over half that length. |
