5.0 out of 5 stars Graphic Adaptation of the Allan Eckert Drama, June 14, 2002

This review is from: Allan W. Eckert's Tecumseh! (Paperback)

This is Timothy Truman's beautiful graphic novel adaptation of Alan Eckert's outdoor drama Tecumseh! which is performed every summer in Chillicothe, OH. It is based on the life of the Shawnee leader Tecumseh and tells the story of the rise and fall of this great Indian hero and his ambitious plan to unite the eastern woodland tribes in a final war to remove the threat of white expansion into the trans-Alleghany west. Truman has done a number of other wonderful graphic novels relating to this period and this one is just as great. If you can get ahold of a copy, buy it.

1.0 out of 5 stars great piece of FICTION, February 20, 2008

By 

Scotzig - See all my reviews

This review is from: Allan W. Eckert's Tecumseh! (Paperback)

The book definatly follows the stereotypical portrayal of Tecumseh, but does not follow history. If you want an inspiring story about the greatest "noble savage" then its fine, but if you want to know what really happened I wouldn't reccomend the play or the book.

If you want historical facts check out:
