This extensively researched narrative focuses on the years between 1770 and 1813, a volatile time in the history of Kentucky and the nation. Through two perspectives—that of frontier explorer Simon Kenton and Shawnee chief Tecumseh—it captures the brutal conflict that arose when settlers moved westward, claiming land already inhabited by Native Americans.
