A biography of Tecumseh, whose integrity, personal magnetism, and public speaking skills helped him to lead the Shawnee and people of other tribes in the fight to save their lives and lands from being taken by white men.
I read this book from my elementary school library after I watched a History channel program about the time period around the War of 1812. I wanted to see how it compared to the portrayal of Tecumseh from History Channel. This book is written for intermediate grade elementary school children, but many of the facts were similar! I'm curious to see how it compares to textbooks for 5th grade specifically covering US History. This is a book that I will recommend to students with my personal review, and I'm looking at others in the series now. Good book!
