Présentation de l'éditeur
In this biography, David Edmunds examines the life of legendary Shawnee leader Tecumesh and his pivotal role in defending the Native American way of life.
Since his death as an avowed warrior at the Battle of the Thames in 1813, the details of Tecumseh’s life have passed into the realm of legend, myth and drama. In this new edition, David Edmunds considers the man who acted as a diplomat – a charismatic strategist who attempted to smooth cultural divisions between tribes and collectively oppose the seizure of their land.

Trade Paperback. Etat : Very Good. First Edition. 246 Pages Indexed. The Europeans who settled in North America never came to grips with the presence of an indigenous population. They began with the assumption the Providence had left the land empty for their use. They consistently underestimated the importance of cultural differences. In their view all peoples descended from a common pair of ancestors and if they behanved in an unexpected fashion it was from ignorance or malice. Deviations were to be dealt with forcibly. Nor did the Indians recognize the cultural diversity and they tended to address one another in family terms as brothers or fathers. The advancing line of white homesteads crowded tribes into a last refuge and by then they had acquired weapons and the skill to resist. Tecumseh and the Propohet were the products of those long years of cultural strife. They saw clearly the threat to the Indian way of life but in the end they were unable to put together a confederation capable of holding back the advancing white settlers. This thoughtfull account of the leader of that desperate attempt at resistance shows how and why Tecumseh failed. Contents in Nine Chapters: The Shawnees, Learning the Warrior's Path, A Culture Under Siege, Red Messiah, The Moses of the Family, To Tippecanoe, Red Ascendancy, Death on the Thames, and Tecumseh in Retrospect. Sources are included. Illustrated with two maps -- The Old Northwest, and Map of the Detroit Frontier During the War of 1812. N° de réf. du vendeur 14768
