Published in 1841, this early biography gathers documents, speeches and recollections to tell the life of Tecumseh, the Shawnee war leader who tried to forge a confederacy of tribes against American expansion, and of his brother Tenskwatawa, the Prophet. It covers Tippecanoe and the War of 1812 and adds a sketch of Shawnee history.

A key early source on Tecumseh, written while many who knew him were still alive, with the frontier assumptions of its day. Download the free EPUB.
