In the early 1800s, when control of the Old Northwest had not yet been assured to the United States, the Shawnee leaders Tecumseh and his brother Tenskwatawa, the Shawnee Prophet, led an intertribal movement culminating at the Battle of Tippecanoe and the Battle of the Thames. Historians have portrayed Tecumseh, the war leader, as the key figure in forging the intertribal confederacy. In this full-length biography of Tenskwatawa, R. David Edmunds shows that, to the contrary, the Shawnee Prophet initiated and for much of the period dominated the movement, providing a set of religious beliefs and ceremonies that revived the tribes' fading power and cohesion.

The Shawnee Prophet
I put off reading this book because I too bought into the folk hero status of Tenskwatawa's more famous brother Tecumseh. However, it is wonderfully sourced and he makes an excellent case that The Prophet was the first major leader of what would become his brothers confederation.
I often find that much history concentrates on political rather than the religious motivations too. Whites even considered Indians ethnically inferior to them and used Christianity as some sort of proof. The Shawnee like many people of the time also looked to the supernatural for guidance.
All in all it was a good read and provided a wealth of information on what happened to Tenskwatawa after Tippecanoe and sets some of that history straight.
