Tecumseh and the Prophet

In "Tecumseh and the Prophet," award-winning historian Peter Cozzens presents the first comprehensive biography of the Shawnee leader Tecumseh and his often-misunderstood brother, Tenskwatawa. Together, they forged a significant pan-Indian alliance against U.S. expansion, challenging previous narratives that overlooked Tenskwatawa's crucial role as the "Shawnee Prophet."
