William Henry Harrison served as aide-de-camp to General 'Mad' Anthony Wayne from 1793 to 1796, taking part in the Ohio Indian Wars. In 1795, he signed the Treaty of Greenville, which ended the conflict and required a coalition of Native American tribes—including the Ottawa, Potawatomi, Chippewa, Miami, and Shawnee—to cede vast Midwestern lands to the United States in exchange for $20,000 in goods. Nearly two decades later, Harrison rose to national prominence for his victory over Tecumseh at the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811.
