Tecumseh First Nations Tecumseh's Speeches Tecumseh's Brother Tecumseh at Detroit Tecumseh at Moraviantown

Captain John B. Glegg was one of General Brock’s aide-de-camps at Amherstburg. He recorded this description of Tecumseh during the first meeting between Brock and the Shawnee chief: Tecumseh’s appearance was very prepossessing; his figure light and finely proportioned; his age I imagined to be about five and thirty; in height, five feet nine or ten inches; his complexion, light copper; countenance, oval, with bright hazel eyes beaming cheerfulness, energy and decision. Three small silver crowns, or coronets, were suspended from the lower cartilage of his aqualine nose; and a large silver medallion of George III...was attached to a mixed coloured wampum string, and hung around his neck. His dress consisted of a plain, neat uniform, tanned deerskin jacket, with long trousers of the same material, the seams of both being covered with neatly cut fringe; and he had on his feet leather moccasins, much ornamented with work made from the dyed quills of the porcupine.
