Sugden presents a detailed study of the most important campaign on the northwest frontier during the War of 1812, culminating in America's victory at the Battle of the Thames (Moraviantown), Canada, on October 5, 1813. He reevaluates the role of British General Henry Proctor, but concentrates on Britain's Indian ally, the Shawnee chief Tecumseh, who was killed in the battle. Sugden analyzes the details and controversies of Tecumseh's death. His work complements R. David Edmunds's biography, Tecumseh and the Quest for Indian Leadership (Little, 1984), and is best suited for special collections on Indian and military history. Joseph G.
