Harney, in 1855, and continued chief until his death scxme years later. Physically Little Thvin- der was a giant, fully six feet six inches tall and large in jiroportion, and is spoken of as of superior intelligence. Little Turtle [Michikinikwa). A chief of the Miami tribe, born at his village on Elel r., Ind., in 1752. His father was a Miami chief and his mother a Mahican; hence, according to the Indian rule, he was a Mahican and received no advan- tage from his father's rank—that is, he was not chief by descent. However, his talents having attracted the notice of his countrymen, he was made chief of the jMiami whUe a comparatively young man. Little Turtle was the principal leader of the Indian forces that defeated Cen. Harmaron Miami r. in Oct. 1790, and Cen. St Clair, at St. .Marys, Nov. 4, 1791, and he and Bluejacket were among the fore- most leaders of the Indians in their con- flict with Gen. Wayne's army in 1795, al- though he had urged the Indians to make peace with this "chief who never sleeps." After their defeat by the whites he joined in the treaty at Greenville, Ohio, Aug. 3, 1795, remarking, as he signed it, "I am the last to sign it, and I will be the last to break it." Faithful to this promise he remained passive and counseled peace on the part of his people until his death at Ft Wayne, July 14, 1812. Early in 1797, accompanied by Capt. Wells, his brother- in-law, he visited President Washington at Philadelphia, where he met Count Vol- ney and Gen. Kosciusko, the latter pre- senting him with his own pair of elegantly mounted pistols. Although Tecumseh endeavored to draw him away from his peaceful relations with the whites, his efforts were in vain. Llitte Turtle's In- dian name as signed to different treaties varies as follows: Greenville, Aug. 3,1795, ileshekunnoghquoh; Ft Wayne, June 7, 1803, Meseekunnoghciuoh; Vincennes, Aug. 21, 1805, Mashekakahquoh; Ft Wayne, Sept. 30,1809, Meshekenoghqua.
