Why read it?
1 author picked Tecumseh and the Quest for Indian Leadership as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Indians fought on both sides in this war, but for the British, who were tied up in the Napoleonic Wars, they played a central role in saving Canada. The preeminent Native leader was the Shawnee war chief Tecumseh, who built an Indian confederacy allied to the British and was killed in 1813 in the Battle of the Thames. Dave Edmunds does a superb job of ferreting out the details of the life of the man who was arguably North America’s greatest war chief.
From Donald's list on The best history books on the War of 1812 (along with some primary sources).
