Super Short Summary

Tecumseh and the Quest for Indian Leadership by R. David Edmunds chronicles the life of Shawnee war chief Tecumseh and his efforts from 1805 to 1813 to build a pan-tribal alliance against the territorial encroachment of American settlers. Alongside his brother Tenskwatawa, Tecumseh transformed a religious movement into a formidable political and military coalition, allying with the British during the War of 1812, until his demise marked the decline of Indigenous resistance in the Old Northwest Territory. This book includes graphic descriptions of historical battles.
