RARE SONG SHEET "A BLOODY BATTLE ..." Circa 1811
"A Bloody Battle Between the United States Troops under the command of Gov. Harrison, and several tribes of Indians, near the Prophet's town, Nov. 7th, 1811." Two woodcut illustrations above title. One depicts three soldiers in an encampment, with tents and caissons behind them. (This ornament was first used in "Battle of Bunker Hill".) The other is a more crudely rendered view of three standing men, one holding an arrow. Text in two columns, with decorative rule at bottom of right column. The "Bloody Battle" refers to the Battle of Tippecanoe, between U.S. forces and a confederacy of American Natives who were supported by the British. The battle further deteriorated U.S. relations with Britain and would become a precursor to the War of 1812, which began six months later. No publication information but believed to have been printed in Boston. Approx. 10" x 9.25".
