Tecumseh Response, 1807

In 1807, Captain William Wells sent a messenger to deliver a message to Tecumseh and his band of people that were staying in Greenville, OH. Tecumseh responded with the following response: "Go back to Fort Wayne, and tell Capt. Wells that my fire is kindled on the spot appointed by the Great Spirit above ; and if he has any communication to make to me, he must come here."
