Why read it?
1 author picked Tecumseh and the Prophet as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
American Indian revivalism did not begin with the Shawnee brothers Tecumseh and Tenskwatawa but it is their shared vision that is best known, even though their plea for a return to the old ways failed—as did most prophetic Nativist movements.
Part one tells the brothers’ backstories. The second marks Tenskwatawa’s rise as a prophet and Tecumseh’s ascendancy as charismatic leader. Part three’s drama of tragedy and loss is set against the War of 1812—a tale of aggression framed in alcohol-fueled cultural despondency, vanishing game, and broken treaties.
Readers will value the author’s compression, geographic clarity and depiction of Tecumseh’s dealings…
