Summary

"After the Battle of Thames in October 1813, the great Shawnee chief Tecumseh lay dead, his body mutilated beyond recognition. Part detective story, part historical inquiry, Tecumseh's Bones explores the fate of the famed chief's remains, putting to rest many legends about his death and advancing a new theory regarding his final resting place. In doing so it recounts the countless attempts to locate his grave and raise a monument in his honour." "The first substantial book on the subject based primarily on Canadian material and packed with vivid descriptions of regional life in the nineteenth century, Tecumseh's Bones examines changing attitudes towards Native North Americans, sheds light on their relations with early European settlers, and highlights the role of women in shaping the folklore traditions associated with the Shawnee chief."--Résumé de l'éditeur
