Beskrivelse af The Sign Of The Prophet
""The Sign of the Prophet: A Tale of Tecumseh and Tippecanoe"" is a historical fiction novel written by James Ball Naylor. The book is set in the early 19th century and tells the story of Tecumseh, a Native American leader, and his brother Tenskwatawa, also known as ""The Prophet."" The two brothers form a confederacy of Native American tribes in an effort to resist the encroachment of white settlers on their land. The story is told from the perspective of a young white man named George Farnsworth, who is sent by General William Henry Harrison to spy on the Native American confederacy. Farnsworth becomes involved in the conflict and learns about the culture and beliefs of the Native Americans. As tensions rise between the Native Americans and the white settlers, the book culminates in the Battle of Tippecanoe, a pivotal moment in American history. The battle is depicted in vivid detail, with Naylor drawing on historical accounts and his own imagination to create a gripping and emotional narrative. Overall, ""The Sign of the Prophet"" is a well-researched and engaging novel that brings to life an important period in American history. It explores themes of cultural conflict, identity, and the struggle for power and autonomy in a changing world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
