Johnsons Island Civil War Roundtable meets
Michael Gilbert of Toledo will present the subject Tecumseh, great American Indian leader to Johnsons Island CWRT on Nov. 19 at Trinity United Church of Christ, 131 E. Perry St., Tiffin.
Born in Ohio near present-day Chillicothe, Tecumseh became a Shawnee chief and warrior who promoted resistance to the expansion of the US. A fine orator, he eventually formed an Indian Alliance which was very strong. This failed, but he became an iconic folk hero in American, Indigenous, and Canadian popular history.
