Lethal Encounters: Englishmen and Indians in Colonial Virginia
This in-depth narrative history of the interactions between English settlers and American Indians during the Virginia colony's first century explains why a harmonious coexistence proved impossible. Britain's first successful settlements in America occurred over 400 years ago. Not surprisingly, the historical accounts of these events have often contained inaccuracies. This compelling study of colonial Virginia is based upon the latest research, sh…

The Shawnee Prophet, Tecumseh, and Tippecanoe: A Case Study of Historical Myth-Making
History has not been kind to Shawnee Prophet Tenskwatawa. Admiring and sentimental whites transformed his elder brother, warrior Tecumseh, into an icon within a few years after his death at Battle of Thames in 1813. By 1820, a writer in Indiana Sentinel could declare every school boy in Union now knows that Tecumseh was a great man. He was truly great-and his greatness was his own, unassisted by science or aid of education. As a statesman, a warr…
