The Shawnee Prophet"This volume is a valuable contribution to the history of Indian-white relations. . . . [Edmunds] is adept in portraying the circumstances among the midwestern tribes which inspired the transformation of Lalawethika, the village drunkard, into Tenskwatawa, the Prophet. . . . It is all presented in a smooth and felicitous style which makes unobtrusive the solid scholarship on which it is based".-Montana |
