Tecumseh This 1848 engraving was adapted from an earlier drawing of Tecumseh made in a live sitting by a French fur trader in 1808. The engraver has given Tecumseh a British army officer’s uniform, showing that he fought on the British side in the War of 1812. Notice the head covering and the medallion around Tecumseh’s neck, marking his Indian identity.
