Techumseh and his brother, Tensquatawa, the Prophet, fought at Tippecanoe in 1812. The Prophet later moved west with the Shawnee Nation to the current area of Kansas City, Kansas called Argentine. While the Prophet lived there, the town was called Prophetstown, near the Whitefeather Spring (currently from 3818 Ruby Avenue to the storm sewer at 39th and Strong Avenue). The Prophet died there in 1837 and was buried near his hut by the spring. Both the spring and grave site are on private property, at 3818 Ruby Avenue. * FindAGrave * Shawnee Prophet's grave, and White Feather Spring, 1836 * Tecumseh | |||
