THE TEXT ON THE HISTORICAL MARKER
Roundhead
In the temporary absence of Tecumseh, the Native-American allies of the British were led by Wyandot Chiefs Roundhead and Walk-in-the-Water. Besides the Wyandots, Native forces included warriors from the Shawnee, Potawatomi, Ottawa, Chippewa, Delaware, Miami, Winnebago, Creek, Sauk, and Fox tribes. The American commander, General James Winchester, was captured by Native warriors about a mile and a half south of this point, and Roundhead delivered him to the British commander, Colonel Henry Proctor. Believing continued resistance was useless, Winchester was induced to send a message to the remainder of his forces, advising them to surrender.
