Journal Entry #16

             My mother has not yet woken up, though the doctor said that she was in a big state of shock, and that she should wake up in a day or so. I am seriously worried right now. What if mother never wakes up??? Well, the good news is that we are nearing the area where Tecumseh's supposed live. As we get closer and closer to our destination, I hear more and more about Tecumseh. Apparently he was born in 1768, as a member of the Shawnee nation. He has a brother named Tenskwatawa (yes, it is a strange name), and they are both strongly against the idea of selling the first nations land to the Americans. From what I hear, Brock is also coming to where Tecumseh lives in order to meet him. I must get there as soon as possible, and I'm assuming that I'll arrive there at around the late beginning of August. I'm also hearing a lot of things about Brock. He was said to have been born in 1769, in England. He hose military as his career, and was sent to Canada in 1802. His assignment was to improve the colony's ability to defend itself against mostly the United States. In 1811 he became the head of the British forces in Canada. I don't know much more, but rumors say that he has a tattoo on his left shoulder (I wonder what it is?). I'm assuming that I will get to my destination in two or three days, and I must go there as fast as fast as possible, so I think I'll have to find somewhere to stay for the night before it gets to dark...
