Críticas:
"A heroic work of research and scholarship...The most complete and reliable account of the events that made the great Shawnee Indian a giant figure on the stage of the early history of the United States" (Alvin M. Josephy Jr, author of 500 Nations)
"A richly detailed, utterly scrupulous account that is as poignant as it is informative...The story of this failed champion may be the most classically tragic in all American history" (New York Times Book Review)
"This biography of America's greatest and most famous Indian leader is definitive. In depth of research, exceptional handling of evidence, perceptive analysis and incisive interpretation, it is unlikely ever to be surpassed" (Robert M. Utley, author of The Lance and the Shield)
"This wonderful biography rightfully restores Tecumseh from great layers of myth...and satisfies our enduring need for a moving tale about one very brave heart" (Toronto Globe and Mail)

If Sitting Bull is the best known Indian leader, Tecumseh, the legendary Shawnee chieftain, is the most revered. In the early years of the nineteenth century he dreamed of welding the diverse North American tribes into a vast confederacy stretching from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, strong enough to defend the cultures and lands of the Indians from the aggression of the United States.
Although he died in battle at the height of his fame with his vision of a great Indian confederacy in shreds, his reputation is secure. Unlike most Indian leaders, who operated locally or participated in inter-tribal warfare, Tecumseh does not stand for one tribe or solidarity, he remains the ultimate symbol of endeavour and courage, unity and fraternity. And while his life was played out against the violent backdrop of bloody battles in the forest, fierce border raids, Indian witch-hunting, and racial brutality on both sides of the frontier, Tecumseh emerges as a man of unusal integrity, generosity and compasson.
