With the courage and resilience embodied by their legendary leader
Tecumseh, the Shawnees waged a war of territorial and cultural
resistance for half a century. Noted historian Colin G. Calloway
details the political and legal battles and the bloody fighting on
both sides for possession of the Shawnees? land, while imbuing
historical figures such as warrior chief Tecumseh, Daniel Boone,
and Andrew Jackson with all their ambiguity and complexity. More
than defending their territory, the Shawnees went to war to
preserve a way of life and their own deeply held vision of what
their nation should be.
