An excellent, detailed but movingly personal account if the life of the last Native American leader capable of halting the tide of European advancement in North America. As was stated by his arch enemy William Harrison years later had Tecumseh been born earlier he might have managed to create an amalgamation Red Nation. It was not to be. Too many factors, too much distance, too many divisions and jealosies, and too poor communications all contributed to his sorrow in the heart failure. An excellent read.
