Description: This item includes arrowheads and axe heads. The artifacts are from various tribes of the Wabash River valley collected by a man from Huntington, Indiana. Everyone knows about the Western Indians through TV and Hollywood. You probably haven’t heard of Native American tribes of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, but they were there, and they have a story to tell. Chief Blue Jacket: image.jpeg These tribes could fight! The Shawnee, and Miami Indians worked together. They were led by chief Blue Jacket and Chief Little Turtle. They defeated the United States Army in the the fall of 1791 near Fort Defiance, Ohio. . Chief Little Turtle: image.jpeg The United States Army led by General St. Clair was almost completely wiped out to the man by these combined tribes. Only about 20 of 1,000 US soldiers escaped unharmed. It was the biggest defeat of an American army ever for a long time. No, the Indians didn’t vastly outnumber them, they had about the same number of warriors. It was as "the most decisive defeat in the history of the American military" and its largest victory ever by Native Americans. It was known as the Battle of The Wabash. So, why haven’t you heard of this battle? Why haven’t you heard of the Shawnee and Miami Indians? Why haven’t you heard of Chief Bluejacket or Chief Little turtle? Hollywood! Hollywood hasn’t made a movie about them … yet! Later on, a Miami, became maybe the richest man in Indiana. How? How did a Native American become so rich? Well, he was smart, he had a fur trading business and he owned a lot of land, and the US government paid him over $30,000 in cash. His Indian name was WildCat (Chief Richardville) So, why haven’t you heard of these people?Hollywood, Hollywood hasn’t made a movie about them … yet! Looking at the artifacts, can you image how hard it would be a shape an arrowhead from flint? It’s not easy. Can you imagine how difficult it would be to shape an axe head from granite, with no modern tools? Some of native Americans had the talent and patience to make these things. Add this item to your collection. Learn about the tribes, read about Blue Jacket and the others. Learn the stories that go with these artifacts. I believe all this is authentic, and I also believe you are getting a good deal. Why is it a good deal? Because just one of those axe heads is probably worth $498.00. It’s as “as is” sale, so look at the pictures, also you are free to contact me.
