Review # 1 was written on 2020-02-04 00:00:00 Timothy Gohr This was a very interesting book - it followed the lives and careers of William Henry Harrison and Tecumseh; their actions pretty much defined the Red Man/White Man conflict in the Northwest Territories. As Territorial Governor, Harrison had virtually dictatorial powers in making agreements/treaties with Indian tribes - no wonder they called him White Devil Harrison. Tecumseh's dream was to establish a confederation of tribes so they would have the strength/power to prevail against the Long Knives. This dream was shattered at Tippecanoe, and when he took his forces north to Canada to join up with the British, he was disillusioned by the way the British failed to carry out their promises; he was killed at the Battle of Thames, which Harrison successfully co-ordinated & won. The style of the book really appealed to me - the author covered concurrent stages/events in the lives of these two men, from childhood to death, and since their actions often affected each other, the melding of events which culminated in their meeting in battle was almost seamless. This would have been a 5* rating, but the author got carried away a couple of times in describing the interior of houses in minute detail, which interrupted the flow of the story for me.
