Blue Jacket: Warrior of the Shawnees (American Indian Lives)by John Peter Sugden
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Blue Jacket (ca. 1743–ca. 1808), or Waweyapiersenwaw, was the galvanizing force behind an intertribal confederacy of unparalleled scope that fought a long and bloody war against white encroachments into the Shawnees’ homeland in the Ohio River Valley. Blue Jacket was an astute strategist and diplomat who, though courted by American and British leaders, remained a staunch defender of the Shawnees’ independence and territory. In this arresting and controversial account, John Sugden depicts the most influential Native American leader of his time. Review:"John Sugden provides his readers with the engaging story of the lengthy, bloody conflict over the land that is now Ohio. His focus, of course, is on one of the principal actors, Blue Jacket — Military chief, diplomat, and businessman. The tale is gripping, and Sugden's telling of it is both fascinating and insightful. . John Sugden has produced a study that contributes immensely to the scholarship and to our understanding of the people and events on the frontier between natives and whites in the Early Republic period."--Dr. Richard V.
