Description Conducive To Books Tecumseh

Tecumseh was in de 18e eeuw een van de grootste Indiaanse oorlogsleiders. Hij leidde zijn eigen volk de Shawnee en hun bondgenoten in de strijd om hun woongebied in het Noordoosten van de V.S. De schrijver heeft veel onderzoek gedaan naar de historische toedracht van deze strijd maar nog meer naar de mentaliteit en gedachtenwereld van die Indiaanse volken. Het boek is boeiend geschreven en vertelt op een eenvoudige manier een stuk van de Amerikaanse geschiedenis. Vergelijk: 'Mary, geliefde vrouw van de Creeks' door Dee Brown (a.i. 81-01-052-4) dat over dezelfde periode handelt.

Assessment Out Of Books Tecumseh

I believe I liked it, but I read this as a teenager, so I don't remember too much about it... I believe I read it more than once, though, so I probably enjoyed it.

James Alexander Thom (born 1933) is an American author, most famous for his works in the Western genre. Born in Gosport, Indiana, he graduated from Butler University and served in the United States Marine Corps. He is a former professor of journalism at Indiana University, and a contributor to the The Saturday Evening Post. His fifth wife, Dark Rain Thom was a member of the Shawnee United RemnantI asked my local librarian for a recommendation a few years ago. I was looking for a historical fiction set in the early American West, including native Americans. He did not steer me wrong. I loved this story so well, and have been reading anything I can get ahold of about Tecumseh ever since. Though he is surely romanticized a bit here, I love the story surrounding this wise and strong philosophic man.



I have "a thing" for Tecumseh!

Good, but drags on.

Ok. It didn't have the "wow" I was hoping for.
