Series Title: Greenwood Biographies

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. This in-depth, accessible treatment presents 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. A chronology of events, vibrant photos, and a print and nonprint bibliography supplement the work.
