Overview
Shawnee leader Tecumseh was born at a time when white settlers were moving westward across the United States and making their homes on Native American lands. Tecumseh rallied the Native American people to defend their lands. But he also dreamed of peace and worked to unite all Native Americans into a single confederacy. He did not live to see his dream become a reality, but his deeds as a warrior and statesman live on.

"Discrimination. Genocide. Dignity. Humanity. These titles unite a diverse group of individuals unafraid to take a stand for equality, some with remarkable similarities in their struggles despite the differences in their journeys. . . .More than just life narratives, this series provides a reflection of history. Maps, schematics, historical sketches, and paintings convey their unique stories. With the exception of Tecumseh, for whom no photographic evidence exists, vintage and modern photographs combine with effective, concise writing that often addresses some heavy themes. . . .Great for middle grade collections and to prompt discourse while teaching civil rights units.-- ""School Library Journal, Series Made Simple"""
