Long before the American Revolution, the Shawnees lived in Ohio, hunted in Kentucky, and traveled as far afield as Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Missouri. White settlers, however, sharply curtailed their freedom. With the courage and resilience embodied by their legendary leader Tecumseh, the Shawnee tribe waged a war of territorial and cultural resistance that lasted for more than sixty years. For a time the Shawnees and their allies met American forces on nearly equal terms—but their story is of an embattled nation fighting to maintain its cultural and political independence.

Here is the account of the early American settlers’ drive to occupy the West, the Shawnees’ unwavering defense of their homeland, and the bitter battles that resulted. Here too are the alliances that the Shawnees forged with their Indian neighbors to present a united resistance, as well as instances of cooperation, collaboration, and intermarriage between the opposing forces.

Summary: Shawnees and America
Comment: Shawnees and the War for America is an excellent history of the Shawnee experience during the two centuries of their struggle to hold onto the land they occupied when the EurAmericans invaded.

The author has included names and described Shawnees in action with words that create pictures. The tale of travail of Cornstalk is compelling. The descrlption of the Shawnee's defeat of the American Army under St.clair, which "effectively distroyed the new nation's only army" deservers more text in our history books.

The book is concise, brief amd well writtened with a neutral viewpoint, but there is no way to make the plot have a better ending.

The Shawnees we see today are the survivors of a genocide that swept away 95% of their ancestors and took most of their land to build a nation almost as worthy a Shawnee nation.
