Acclaimed author Peter Stark exposes the fundamental conflicts at play through the little-known but consequential struggle between two extraordinary leaders. William Henry Harrison was born to a prominent Virginia family, son of one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. He journeyed west, became governor of vast Indiana Territory andsought statehood by attracting settlers and imposing one-sided treaties. Tecumseh belonged to an honored line of Shawnee warriors and chiefs. His father died while fighting the Virginians flooding into Kentucky and in his dying words, extracted a promisefrom his sons to "Never give in" to the land-hungry Americans. Tecumseh was, by all accounts, one of the nineteenth century's greatest leaders. An eloquent speaker, he traveled from Minnesota to Florida and west to the Great Plains convincing far flung tribes to join a great confederacy and face down their common, American, enemy. Eager to stop U.S. expansion, the British backed Tecumseh's confederacy in a series of battles during the forgotten western front of the War of 1812 that would determine controlof the North American continent"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Tecumseh's War, 1811-1817. 600 00 $a Tecumseh, $c Shawnee Chief, $d 1768-1813. $9 11539 600 10 $a Harrison, William Henry, $d 1773-1841. $9 25177 600 10 $a Harrison, William Henry, $d 1773-1841 $x Relations with Indians. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x Land tenure. $9 71351 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x Government relations $y 1789-1869. $9 71342 651 0 $a Northwest, Old $x History. $9 73447 776 08 $i Online version: 776 08 $a Stark, Peter. $t Gallop toward the sun $b First edition. $d New York : Random House, 2023 $z 9780593133620 $w (DLC) 2023004923 941 $a 13 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611020240.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20240523010807.0 952 $l OJPC027 $d 20240425162853.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409044836.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20240104010618.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230916010039.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20230915010128.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20230913010357.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20230906010430.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20230902013020.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230902010726.0 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20230824014041.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20230404014509.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F60EE7B4D2B011ED872B743748ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
