Description: The colorful story of the famous chief Tecumseh (1768-1813) is presented through this generous selection of the earliest records. These letters, descriptions, and narratives by statesmen and men close to the Shawnee warrior must be the basis for any assessment of his role in the struggle of the Indian nation to maintain itself against the settlers. Since the Indians wrote nothing and white men gave conflicting reports about Tecumseh"s life and death, the legends and historical accounts leave much scope for fresh inquiry.
Notes: Includes bibliography.
