Tippecanoe, a river of Indiana, which rises in the northern part of the state, flows WSW. and S. 200 miles, and empties into the Wabash 10 miles above Lafayette. It is famous for the battle fought near its mouth, November 7, 1811, in which the Indians, under Tecumseh's brother, the prophet, were defeated by General Harrison.
