About this title

About the Author:

John Sugden is a native of Hull, England, and he received a doctorate in Modern History from the University of Sheffield. He is currently Joint Director of Studies at Hereward College in Coventry and is a contributor to academic journals in Britain and the United States. Sugden is especially interested in Indian resistance movements, and his article, "The Southern Indians in the War of 1812: The Closing Phase," was awarded the Arthur W. Thompson Memorial Prize in Florida History in 1982 and was judged the best article to appear in the Florida Historical Quarterly that year.

From Library Journal:

Sugden presents a detailed study of the most important campaign on the northwest frontier during the War of 1812, culminating in America's victory at the Battle of the Thames (Moraviantown), Canada, on October 5, 1813. He reevaluates the role of British General Henry Proctor, but concentrates on Britain's Indian ally, the Shawnee chief Tecumseh, who was killed in the battle. Sugden analyzes the details and controversies of Tecumseh's death. His work complements R. David Edmunds's biography, Tecumseh and the Quest for Indian Leadership (Little, 1984), and is best suited for special collections on Indian and military history. Joseph G.
