In 2019, Mt Tecumseh failed to make its number – 4,000 ft.  The USGS slapped down a marker on the summit reading “elevation 3,997 ft.”  Might as well read “foreclosed” or “condemned”. 142 years after first making the grade (so to speak) Tecumseh came up short.  Now Tecumseh was at risk of being cut from an important roster – the esteemed White Mountain 4,000 Footer list, the highest honor for a White Mountain peak.  For 88 years Tecumseh had been a respected founding member of the list first proposed by in a 1931 article in Appalachia Nathanial Goodrich.  Would Shawnee Chief Tecumseh drop his endorsement after all these years?  What happened?  Too much Ozempic?
