From Wikipedia.
This small battle took place in Indiana and was the result of an American punitive expedition against Indians as a result of several defeats and massacres, including the Fort Dearborn Massacre and Pigeon Roost Massacre.
It took place on November 22, 1812, and resulted in an Indian victory.
It was nicknamed "Spur's Defeat", reportedly referring to the spurs the soldiers used on their horses to get out of there as fast as possible..
The campaign is also sometimes referred to as the Second Battle of Tippecanoe.
