Seemed like a good overview with the basic facts of Tecumseh's life, told in an engaging narrative. The tone is very straightforward. The pictures and maps support the timeline and topics. The authors include quotes from other biographers and dispel some myths throughout.

It was useful as an introduction to a major historical figure I had probably read, at most, a couple paragraphs about. I would have to read much more to feel like I really understood his life.
