Description
One of the most important Native American leaders in history, the Shawnee leader Tecumseh protested land cession, and was a major catalyst of the Battle of Tippecanoe. He harnessed the tradition of American Indian pan-tribal unity to become the most important symbol of multi-national Native American identity and resistance in North America. This in-depth, accessible treatment explores the life of a key figure in Native American battle-lore who figures prominently in U.S. history curricula.Lively, narrative chapters explore the Shawnee culture, Tecumseh's childhood, the transformation of his brother, Tenskwatawa into The Prophet, his creation of a pan-tribal movement, the War of 1812, and his legacy in history and popular culture.

Reviews:
-"Designed specifically for high school and public libraries, this comprehensive biography series provides an excellent resource for learning about important people in our world. Sturgis offers a well-written biography of Tecumseh, the intelligent and powerful (both physically and politically) Shawnee chief, born in 1768 in the Ohio Valley." —MultiCultural Review
