Excerpt from The Republic, or a History of the United States of America in the Administrations, Vol. 9: From the Monarchic Colonial Days to the Present Times
The vast North-western Territory has produced few more admirable characters than that of the "Hero of Tippecanoe." He was, in an eminent sense, a representative of the West. He had aided in rescuing it from the savage, and had been identified widely in many of the important steps and scenes in its growth. His dress, speech, manners, and culture were peculiar to the West at that day, and the great mass of the people of his region valued him highly as a man, and took pride in his plain and unpretending life and character. The history of his family presents a rare instance of respectable successions, and with that of the Adamses and a few others, still controverts the wide-spread belief that the families of worthily distinguished men are short-lived.
