description: A fiery orator, a brilliant diplomat, a revolutionary thinker, a political and military genius—the man named Tecumseh became a legend among Native Americans and whites. He stood as a messiah to his people during one of the most crucial periods of their history, as the whites began to explore and expand to the west of the British colonies. In this meticulously researched biography, 5-time Pulitzer Prize nominee Allan W. Eckert fleshes out the details of a fascinating life and corrects the mistakes of previous accounts. Eckert tells the compelling story of the great Shawnee warrior, born under the augury of a shooting star, who drew together an enormous Indian alliance and led it to the greatest Indian victory in history over American military force.
