Virtual Talk: “Tecumseh and The Prophet” with Peter Cozzens

The Heroic Struggle for America’s Heartland
When settlers spilled across the Appalachians to exploit lands won from the British in the War of Independence, they disregarded on thing:  the rightful owners of the land. This is the untold story of the two Shawnee brothers who retaliated against the threat. Tecumseh was a brilliant diplomat and leader—admired by the same white Americans he opposed.  Tenskwatawa, called the “Shawnee Prophet,” created a vital doctrine of religious and cultural revitalization that unified the disparate tribes of the old Northwest.  Until the Americans killed Tecumseh in 1813, the brothers were the co-architects of the broadest pan-Indian confederation in United States history. Through detailed research of Native American society and customs, award-winning historian Peter Cozzens reveals how both men came to power in different, but no less important, ways and provides a window into a world often erased from history books.
