Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. William Wells (c. 1770 – 15 August 1812), also known as Apekonit ("Carrottop"), was the son-in-law of Chief Little Turtle of the Miami. He fought for the Miami in the Northwest Indian War. During the course of that war, he became an United States Army officer, and also served in the War of 1812. In 1812 during the war with the British, Wells led a group of Miami to aid Fort Dearborn. Among the Americans under siege was his niece Rebekah Wells, who was the wife of Nathan Heald. They were ordered to evacuate, but were attacked in the Battle of Fort Dearborn. Nathan and Rebekah Heald were both wounded, but managed to escape and surrender to the British. During the battle, Wells was shot and killed by Potowatamis. He was dressed in Indian fashion, and his face was painted black in anticipation of death. His opponents, although considering him a traitor to their cause, nonetheless reportedly ate his heart to gain some of his courage.
