Product Information

A vivid account of the rivalry between future president William Henry Harrison and the Shawnee chief Tecumseh--and of the Native American alliance that fought westward expansion--from the New York Times bestselling author of Astoria "Taut, multi-layered . . . a much-needed reevaluation of this crucial period of our nation's history."--Laurence Bergreen, author of Over the Edge of the World The conquest of Indigenous land in the eastern United States through corrupt treaties and genocidal violence laid the groundwork for the conquest of the American West. In Gallop Toward the Sun, acclaimed author Peter Stark exposes the fundamental conflicts at play through the little-known but consequential struggle between two extraordinary leaders. William Henry Harrison was born to a prominent Virginia family, the son of a signer of the Declaration of Independence. He journeyed west, became governor of the vast Indiana Territory, and sought statehood by attracting settlers and imposing one-sided treaties. Tecumseh, by all accounts one of the nineteenth century's greatest leaders, belonged to an honored line of Shawnee warriors and chiefs. His father, killed while fighting the Virginians flooding into Kentucky, extracted a promise from his sons to "never give in" to the land-hungry Americans. An eloquent speaker, Tecumseh traveled from Minnesota to Florida and west to the Great Plains convincing far-flung tribes to join a great confederacy and face down their common enemy. Eager to stop U.S. expansion, the British backed Tecumseh's confederacy in a series of battles during the forgotten western front of the War of 1812 that would determine control over the North American continent. Tecumseh's brave stand was likely the last chance to protect Indigenous people from U.S. expansion--and prevent the upstart United States from becoming a world power. In this fast-paced narrative--with its sharply drawn characters, high-stakes diplomacy, and bloody battles--Peter Stark brings this pivotal moment to life.

Reviews
"As the title promises, Peter Stark's taut, multi-layered narrative of the legendary Shawnee chief Tecumseh, William Henry Harrison, and the making of a very young USA, pulled me in and wouldn't let go. Gallop Toward the Sun offers a much-needed reevaluation of this crucial period of our nation's history." --Laurence Bergreen, Author of Over the Edge of the World "Too many Americans still believe the myth that America's Indian Wars began in the far West after the Civil War. In this convincing and irresistible dual biography of Shawnee Chief Tecumseh and his nemesis, William Henry Harrison, Peter Stark documents America's violent confrontation with the indigenous tribes in the wake of the American Revolution. Stark is a writer who brilliantly understands both narrative story-telling and the major, violent themes of American life. You can't understand America without understanding this book." --Rinker Buck, bestselling author or The Oregon Trail and Life on the Mississippi "What a good read . . . Tecumseh's story deserves to be told often and well, and by coupling him with Harrison [Stark] effectively presents this as a crucial collision in the making and meaning of America, warts and all." --Colin G. Calloway, professor of Native American Studies at Dartmouth College "Lively joint biography . . . offers a kind of thought experiment . . . Readers will likely come away with deeper admiration for Tecumseh--and disdain for his conniving foe." -- Kirkus Reviews "Vivid biographical detail and astute analysis of how Harrison and Tecumseh's competing visions for the future fueled the conflict make this is an informative chapter in the history of the American frontier." -- Publishers Weekly, "As the title promises, Peter Stark's taut, multi-layered narrative of the legendary Shawnee chief Tecumseh, William Henry Harrison, and the making of a very young USA pulled me in and wouldn't let go.
