Book cover for Panther in the Sky: A Novel based on the life of Tecumseh
“Weshecat-welo k’weshe-laweh-pah, let us be strong by doing right.”
Bette Siler
This is an emotional, passionate account of the life of Tecumseh. The reader is engulfed in the culture, the philosophy and the spirituality of the great Shawnee nation Very few are able to create a great historical novel with such a depth of immersion into the stark reality of the times yet a breadth of vision of a long lost world.

J.R.R. Tolkien
“For so it seemed to them: Lórien was slipping backward, like a bright ship masted with enchanted trees, sailing on to forgotten shores, while they sat helpless upon the margin of the grey and leafless world.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

George Eliot
“How happy is he born and taught That serveth not another's will; Whose armor is his honest thought, And simple truth his only skill! . . . . . . . This man is freed from servile bands Of hope to rise or fear to fall; Lord of himself though not of lands; And having nothing yet hath all." —SIR”
George Eliot, Middlemarch
