Product Details

From the back cover:

"With the courage and resilience embodied by their legendary leader Tecumseh, the Shawnees waged a war of territorial and cultural resistance for more than half a century. Noted historian Colin Calloway details the political and legal battles and the bloody fighting on both sides for possession of the Shawnees' land. Historical figures from the warrior chief Tecumseh to Daniel Boone and Andrew Jackson are brought to life with all their ambiguity and complexity. The Shawnees went to war not only to defend their territory; it was to preserve their traditions, their beliefs, an their own deeply held vision of what their nation should be."
