The Life and Times of Little Turtle: First Sagamore of the Wabash. Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1987. xvii + 275 pp. Maps and Illus. Colin G. Calloway and Harvey Lewis Carter focus mainly on the Old Northwest, the triangular area bounded by the Mississippi river, the Great Lakes and the Ohio river. By studying this area, they are given an opportunity to trace the complicated relationships involving the Indians, the British and the Americans at a time when each of the three groups had a vested interest in it.1 These two books illustrate the need to understand the complex motivations leading to conflicts and compromises between the end of the Revolutionary War and the termination of the War of 1812
