thanks pdq. And Rapaire, if Tecumseh did act uncharacterstically by looking the other way as Greathouse and his wife were tortured and killed, perhaps it was because he was Logan's brother-in-law (at least according to one of the sources I've read today), and families were bound by honour and tradition to avenge their own??

At any rate, he certainly expressed different sentiments during the Battle for Detroit in 1812, according to this version of the story.

"Cf. Robert McAfee, History of the Late War in the Western County (1816), p. 272:

... The dispute between them had become serious when Colonel Elliot and Tecumseh came down from the batteries to the scene of carnage. As soon as Tecumseh beheld it, he flourished his sword and in a loud voice ordered them 'For shame do desist. It is a disgrace to kill a defenoeless prisoner.' His orders were obeyed, to the great joy of the prisoners, who had by this time lost all hopes of being preserved. In this simple act, Tecumseh displayed more humanity, magnanimity, and civilization, than Procter with all his British associates in command, displayed through the whole war on the northwestern frontiers."
