Potawatomi "Trail of Death" Indiana to Kansas, September 4 - November 4, 1838
On September 5, 1838, nearly 850 Potawatomi Indians marched single file through Rochester on the forced removal from Indiana to western Territory (Kansas). Three chiefs were transported in a jail wagon: Menominee, Black Wolf, and Pepinewa. there were 286 horses and 26 wagons. Included were many Indians from Fulton County: Chief Wamego and people from his village Chieftess Mas-saw, I-w-wa, and Pawk-shuk, son of deceased Chief Aubbeenaubbee.
The first night they camped at Chippeway on the Tippecanoe River, . . .
While marching through Rochester, the Indians formed a line a mile long. Sympathetic white settlers gave them hoe-cakes . . .
Water was scarce, roads choked with dust. over 40 deaths were recorded on the trek to Kansas. Father Benjamin . . .
This monument erected in 1995 by Fulton County Historical Society's Indian Awareness Center; by descendants of Che-shaw-gen, who was on the trial of Death; and by the family of William O. Wamego, who helped re-enact the trail of Death on its 150th anniversary in 1988 by riding in a horse-drawn jail wagon through Rochester.
