Silver Creek is a stream in southern Indiana in the United States.
[4][5] At the mouth of the creek was the first cement operation in Indiana, at Beach's Mill in 1830.
[6] The creek was the site of Shirt-Tail Bend, a popular dueling location for Kentuckians, as the practice was illegal in their state.
The Silver Creek banks were the site at least four duels, including most famously one between Humphrey Marshall and Henry Clay on January 19, 1809.
Marshall opposed Clay's proposal that all Kentucky legislators should wear domestic homespun rather than English broadcloth.
