Graphic Adaptation of the Allan Eckert Drama,
By Matthew S. Schweitzer "zohoe" (Columbus, OH United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
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.
