text:
William McIntosh was a fur trader, treasurer of the Indiana Territory under William Henry Harrison, and real estate entrepreneur. He became famous for the United States Supreme Court case of Johnson v. McIntosh (1823) and for his massive real estate holdings on the Wabash River. For a time he was a close friend of William Henry Harrison, but their relationship eventually soured and Harrison sued him for slander. When Harrison won the lawsuit, McIntosh was forced to pay him a large sum of money.
