General William Henry Harrison led Americans to victory in the Battle of the Thames on this day in history, Oct. 5, 1813, routing the British and Native forces led by Shawnee chief Tecumseh.
"The Indians scattered, never again to offer serious resistance in what was then called the Northwest." "Harrison parlayed the victory in War of 1812 … into a run for presidency in 1840." Kerry J. Byrne is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
The battlefield heroics propelled Harrison, the son of Founding Father and Declaration of Independence signer Benjamin Harrison V, to the White House in 1841.
