Fort Recovery State Museum will host author Frank Kuron at 3 p.m. Aug. 29 for the presentation “Clash of Cultures! Discover the Relationships of Tecumseh; the Prophet; and the Future President, William Henry Harrison.”

Kuron is the author of two books about the Northwest Territory and his presentation will explore the clash between Native Americans and colonists in the area now known as the Midwest. It will include a look at the role the Shawnee played in events in the early years of the United States.
