"After an adventurous prospecting trip to Indiana Territory in 1805, Purty Tom Montgomery and his seven grown children leave their Kentucky homes for Indiana Territory, crossing the Ohio River at the Falls of the Ohio, near Louisville. On the Indian side of the river they travel the famous Buffalo Trace, created over the millennia by migrating buffalo, and settle in the Wabash Valley, south of the old French city, Vincennes. As William Henry Harrison, Governor of the Indiana Territory obtains cessions of Indian lands, one after the other, friction between settlers and Indians escalates. Hostility reaches an explosive stage when Tensketawa (The Prophet) and his brother, Tecumseh, seek to reverse the cessions, drive the whites out, and lead Indians back to old ways. Something had to give. Settlers are as determined to stay as the Indians are for them to leave. The final solution is war, culminating in the Battle of Tippecanoe."--From back cover.
