The bravery, integrity and honesty of this great leader.

Tecumseh is so much more than a recognizable character in history or just a name. He is a symbol of greatness that filled the hearts of so many of the inhabitants of this land when the explorers from across the Atlantic decided that they wanted to settle here, then expand across the entire continent. Tecumseh’s desire to remain on the land he always knew to belong to his people was being threatened and he, guided by a higher power, tried many times to negotiate peace, but to no avail. He was a skilled hunter and warrior as well and it was here his final
battle was fought.

Good Book on a Great Man

Alan Eckert is becoming one of my favorite authors. This book has had me riveted to it. Love these books on historical figures

A W Eckart & P Heitsch

This is a detailed true story of the conquest of a land and people that was to become the fighting spirit of the United States people for centuries to come. Eckart captured the moment in time on paper and Heitsch expertly and passionately tells the story to our ears. You just have to listen and learn. Well done.

A good read.

I have read the many years back loved it then and love it still.
It is nice to hear something written about my people, the Shawnee, Potawatomi, Sac and Fox and Kickapoo.
Well written, well performed. Could have used some guidance on the pronunciation of the names but overall it was great.

Thank you

What a magnificent tale that is told just as well. I am grateful to have had the privilege to listen. All Native stories should find the ears of their people. Please make more.
