Young Men’s Convention at Tippecanoe Battlefield 1840
The May 29 1840 meeting on Tippecanoe Battlefield assembled to back William Henry Harrison for President and John Tyler for Vice President. Delegates from Indiana counties formed committees, elected officers, and approved addresses urging support for Harrison Tyler Bigger and Hall. A grand procession of veteran soldiers and county banners followed, with speeches by Gen McCarty and others and a salute to Tippecanoe heroes.
