by William Bingen, our grandson, his first poem
The white people took his land.
Earned respect from his people.
Confidently fought in battles.
United the Shawnee People with his bravery.
Many people didn’t believe the white people had the right to take the land.
Shawnee battled the new settlers.
Earth is beloved to them.
He died in the Battle of Thames in 1813.
