In this letter to C.L. Phifer, editor of the Kansas City Kansan, William E. Connelley writes about Shawnee prophet Ten-squa-ta-wa (also known as La-u-le-was-I-kaw). Connelley explains that Ten-squa-ta-wa was at the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811, and was with the Shawnees when they moved to the area that soon became Kansas.
