Potawatomi "trail of Death' Route Indiana to Kansas, September 4 - November 4, 1838
The 1811 Battle of Tippecanoe on this site was decisive, leading to the loass of their homjelands and the removal of Indians from Indiana.
At Gun Point, about 850 Potawatomi passed this location on September 12th, 1838 on a 660-mile trek knoown as the "Trail of Death" becasue so many, mostly children, died along the way.
After two moths, about 750 Potawatomi arrived at what is now Osawatomie, Kansa., joining those who had gone earlier.
A 26-year old Potawatomi and interpreter on the trial of death was Nan-Wesh-Mah. After his father died, he had been adopted by a half-white older cousin, Abraham Burnett, a merchant at Fort wane, who had fought on the Indian side at the battle of Tippecanoe. (Burnett's Creek nearby was named for him.) Nan-wesh-Mah was given his adopted father's name, was sent to school, and grew up as Abram Burnett.
He farmed near Topeka, Kansas and died in 1870. Many Potawatomi were later removed from Kansas to Oklahoma.
Erected May 31, 1996 by Oklahoma Descendants of Nan-Wesh-Mah (Abram Burnett) & by Girl Scouts, Lafayette, Indiana.
