The assigned readings for this course, particularly R. David Edmunds
The Shawnee Prophet and John Sugden's
Tecumseh: A Life were the opening of an effort to reinterpret the lives of Tenskwatawa and Tecumseh. As such, they both broke new ground, and re-hashed old arguments. From what you have learned during this course, I would like to to assess both books--what new interpretations did the authors put forth, and what interpretations did they continue to accept as true? Do you agree with their choices? Why?
