Rebecca Galloway taught Tecumseh to speak English. A few years later, 1807, he lost his wife. In 1808, he visited Rebecca and asked her to marry him. She agreed if he would live as a white man, but he was a Chief. He never again married, dying in battle in 1813. The next year, she married a local farmer. She lived until 1876—I like to think that in 1876, Rebecca and Tecumseh were finally together.
