Powerful key players (Procter, Tecumseh and Brock), their disparate war aims, and the "all or nothing" character of the campaigns they waged still seem larger than life. Yet Sandy Antal's careful reconstruction of Native and national aspiration, vested colonial interest, and territorial aggression, reveals motives and expedients that were as often mundane as heroic. A Wampum Denied reassesses the much-maligned career of Henry Procter, commander of the British forces, traces the Canadian/British/Native side of the conflict (amid a literature dominated by the American view), and casts new light on an allied military strategy that very nearly succeeded, but when it failed, failed spectacularly.Carleton library series ;191.Shawnee IndiansWarsMichiganHistoryWar of 1812CampaignsShawnee IndiansWars.973.5/23Antal Sandy1468904Aid to Scholarly Publications Programme.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782730303321A wampum denied3680271UNINA
