The testimony of another Potawatamie chief, Chamblee, as furnished us by captain Robert Anderson, of the U.S. army, is to this effect: 

He saw Tecumseh engaged in a personal rencontre with a soldier armed with a musket; that the latter made a thrust at the chief, who caught the bayonet under his arm, where he held it, and was in the act of striking his opponent with his tomahawk, when a horseman rode up, and shot Tecumseh dead with a pistol.  The horseman had a red feather, (plume) in his hat, and was mounted on a spotted or red-roan horse; he further says, that he saw the body of Tecumseh a day or two after the battle, and that it was not mutilated.

In a work entitled “History of the Indian Tribes of North America,” there is the following note: 

“A Potawatamie chief was thus questioned:  Were you at the battle of the Thames?  Yes.  Did you know Tecumseh?  Yes.  Were you near him in the fight?  Yes.  Did you see him fall?  Yes.  Who shot him?  Don’t know.  Did you see the man that shot him?  Yes.  What sort of looking man was he?  Short, thick man.  What color was the horse he rode?  Most white.  How do you know this man shot Tecumseh?  I saw the man ride up—­saw his horse get tangled in some bushes—­when the horse was most still, I saw Tecumseh level his rifle at the man and shoot—­the man shook on his horse—­soon the horse got out of the bushes, and the man spurred him up—­horse came slow—­Tecumseh right before him—­man’s left hand hung down—­just as he got near, Tecumseh lifted his tomahawk and was going to throw it, when the man shot him with a short gun (pistol)—­Tecumseh fell dead and we all ran.”

Mr. Garrett Wall, of Kentucky, who participated in the battle of the Thames, says: 

" ——­ The men by this time had collected in groups; and it was remarked that colonel R. M. Johnson was dead, but I contradicted the report; also, that the great Indian commander, Tecumseh, was slain; I asked by what authority?  I was told that Anthony Shane, who had known him from a small boy, said so, and had seen him among the slain.  In a short time I saw Shane with a small group of men, walking towards a dead Indian; as he approached the body, I asked him if he knew that Indian.  He said it was, in his opinion, Tecumseh; but he could tell better if the blood was taken from his face.  I examined the Indian.  He was shot in the left side of the breast with several balls or buck shot, all entering near and above the left nipple.  There was also a wound in his head, too small for a rifle ball to make.”

Atwater, in his History of Ohio, remarks, that two Winnebago chiefs, Four-Legs and Carymaunee, told him, that Tecumseh, at the commencement of the battle of the Thames, lay with his warriors in a thicket of underbrush on the left of the American army, and that they were, at no period of the battle, out of their covert—­that no officer was seen between them and the American troops—­that Tecumseh fell the very first fire of the Kentucky dragoons, pierced by thirty bullets, and was carried four or five miles into the thick woods and there buried by the warriors, who told the story of his fate.
