In the years just preceding the War of 1812 one man, an Indian, dominated the American frontier—Tecumseh. He emerges here as a vivid, splendid character, a man of unusual talents and noble aims, whereas in much previous history and biography he has been depicted as a baffling, sinister, often bloody figure—a man of inscrutable motives whose scheming for a time actually threatened to delay the settlement of the Northwest. Tecumseh’s great oratorical powers, his statesmanship, his military acumen, his personal magnetism won him the passionate loyalty of his Indians and the admiration of even his white enemies. In nobility of character, in leadership and in devotion to a lost cause he suggests points of comparison with Robert E. Lee. The need for this book is indicated by the fact that until its publication the standard biography has continued to be Benjamin Drake’s book first published in 1841 and ranks as a collectors’ item. Tecumseh’s great vision was a confederation of all the Indian tribes to check the encroachment of the whites on the Indian lands. His journeys took him from the Mohawk River in the east to the Arkansas in the west, from Lake Superior to the Gulf of Mexico. Mr. Tucker offers proof that the British in Canada did not push Tecumseh on war with the United States—as historians have claimed—but on the contrary Tecumseh urged the British to declare war. The high point of Tecumseh’s point probably came when with Major General Brook he captured Detroit and made a sizeable American army to surrender. Only a few months later his forces, outnumbered and almost unsupported by their brave and futile stand on the Thames River. Tecumseh was killed, and his dream of a red empire broken. So ended the mighty vision and the greatest of the great chiefs.

"An insightful, unflinching portrayal of the remarkable siblings who came closer to altering the course of American history than any other Indian leaders."⁠ —H.W. Brands, author of The Zealot and the Emancipator The first biography of the great Shawnee leader to make clear that his misunderstood younger brother, Tenskwatawa, was an equal partner in the last great pan-Indian alliance against the United States. Until the Americans killed Tecumseh in 1813, he and his brother Tenskwatawa were the co-architects of the broadest pan-Indian confederation in United States history. In previous accounts of Tecumseh's life, Tenskwatawa has been dismissed as a talentless charlatan and a drunk. But award-winning historian Peter Cozzens now shows us that while Tecumseh was a brilliant diplomat and war leader--admired by the same white Americans he opposed--it was Tenskwatawa, called the "Shawnee Prophet," who created a vital doctrine of religious and cultural revitalization that unified the disparate tribes of the Old Northwest. Detailed research of Native American society and customs provides a window into a world often erased from history books and reveals how both men came to power in different but no less important ways. Cozzens brings us to the forefront of the chaos and violence that characterized the young American Republic, when settlers spilled across the Appalachians to bloody effect in their haste to exploit lands won from the British in the War of Independence, disregarding their rightful Indian owners. Tecumseh and the Prophet presents the untold story of the Shawnee brothers who retaliated against this threat--the two most significant siblings in Native American history, who, Cozzens helps us understand, should be writ large in the annals of America.

The Shawnee chief and warrior Tecumseh came to prominence leading an Indigenous alliance against the United States in a war waged from 1811 to 1815. In 1805, Tecumseh's younger brother Lalawethika (soon to take the name Tenskwatawa) had had a vision for an Indian revitalization movement that would restore native culture and resist American expansion. The movement was timely because President Thomas Jefferson's "Hammer" in the West, William Henry Harrison, was in the midst of imposing treaties on the Indians that by 1809 would compel them to surrender more than 70,000 square miles of territory in the Old Northwest and beyond the Mississippi River. Tenskwatawa's revitalization movement drew support from Indigenous peoples across the Old Northwest and into the Great Plains, and having become the most powerful spiritual leader in the region, he was now referred to as "The Prophet." To counter American expansion, Tecumseh organized the movement's followers into a powerful political and military alliance. While Tecumseh was away recruiting Southeast tribes to his confederacy, war with the United States erupted. On November 6, 1811, Harrison, determined to smash the confederacy, camped an army near the center of Native resistance at Prophetstown in present-day northwestern Indiana. In what came to be known as the Battle of Tippecanoe, Harrison's men fought off an Indian attack the next day and then razed Prophetstown. Seven months later, when the United States declared war on Britain, thus initiating the War of 1812, the British and Tecumseh forged an alliance against the United States. Initially, the alliance enjoyed considerable success, forcing the surrender of US forces at Mackinac, Chicago, Detroit, and present-day Monroe, Michigan. These losses, coupled with the slaughter of Americans on the River Raisin and elsewhere in the West, inflamed settlers throughout the region. The tide in the war began to turn in mid-1813, and in the wake of Commodore Oliver H. Perry's spectacular victory on Lake Erie in September, Harrison invaded Canada. With "Remember the Raisin!" as their battle cry, Harrison's men defeated an Anglo-Indian force in the climactic Battle of the Thames. Tecumseh was killed in that battle, and although his confederacy disintegrated, British support ensured that the Indian war would continue. Tecumseh's War ended only in 1815 after the British made peace with the United States and abandoned their native allies. This left the Indians with little choice but to make their own peace, and thereafter they were at the mercy of the United States. Tecumseh's War: The Epic Conflict for the Heart of America by distinguished historian Donald R. Hickey is the sweeping and engrossing story of this last great Indian war--the last time that Native Americans had a powerful European ally to oppose United States expansion and thus the last chance they had of shaping the future of the continent.
