"The whites have driven us from the great salt water, forced us
over the mountains.The way, the only way, to check and stop this
evil is for all red men to unite in claiming a common equal right
in the land." -Tecumseh, quoted in Tecumseh: Vision of Glory The
legendary charismatic Indian chief Tecumseh was born nearly a
decade before Columbus' discovery of the New World. He came of age
in an era of violence and cultural decay in which Indian tribes
across the American continent expended their energy attempting to
oust invading Europeans who were confiscating their land. When
white settlers were pushing beyond into Indian territories as the
state of Ohio joined the Union in 1803, angry Native Americans
vowed to keep these settlers from taking more Indian land.
Tecumseh, already an accomplished warrior assumed the role of war
chief to organize Indian nations into a confederation and then led
the drive to preserve Indian lands and customs. Noted biographer
GLENN TUCKER expands the scope of his earlier books by focusing
exclusively on the intimate knowledge of his subject; Tecumseh.
Taking an in-depth look at this complex man, his life, and the
times that shaped him, Tucker's work appeals to history buffs as
well as anyone interested in thoughtfully crafted American
biographies.
