Crossing the Panther's Path

(3) 4-6 The Shawnee chief Tecumseh's unsuccessful campaign against the American government is told from the perspective of one of his followers, a young half-Irish, half-Indian boy. The hero's emotional conflicts, especially the battle between his desire to be a warrior and his disgust at brutality, are convincingly drawn. This novel depicts a little known and politically complicated period of nineteen-century history. Close reading is required.
