Tecumseh, Shawnee Chief and Warrior; Operation Cowboy: The WWII Lippizaner Horse Rescue
Welcome to Episode 18!
In this week's episode, KT kicks it off with a story about Tecumseh, who was a Chief for the Shawnee tribe that fought against white expansion onto indigenous lands in what is present day United States. A fierce warrior with both weapon and word, Tecumseh was celebrated as a leader who was able to bring tribes together for a common goal.
Afterwards, Laurel has a story for all the horse girls (and other horse lovers) out there! During World War II, the Nazis had hoarded all the most precious horses from around Europe, chiefly the Lippizaner breed from Austria, in a breeding experiment to try to create the perfect horse. As the Third Reich crumbled and Soviet forces moved in, the horses were in danger of being killed and eaten. In an effort to save these horses, both Germans and Americans had to team up to save them in what was known as Operation Cowboy.
