About This Book

A chronological narrative traces the life of a Shawnee leader from childhood and tribal origins through his emergence as a unifying orator and wartime commander. It examines his alliance with a religious movement, skill at persuasive speech, and efforts to resist land loss, recounting key confrontations with American forces, collaboration with British authorities, and final engagements on American soil. Interwoven are explanations of Shawnee society, the spiritual and rhetorical traditions that shaped his authority, and the strategic and personal costs of indigenous resistance, concluding with his last battle and a bibliographical note.
