Four American Indians: King Philip, Pontiac, Tecumseh, Osceola

Four illustrated biographies recount the lives of King Philip (Metacomet), Pontiac, Tecumseh, and Osceola, tracing each leader's origins, customary life, and rise to prominence. Each section describes encounters and negotiations with European settlers, the formation of alliances and councils, the turning points that led to armed resistance, and the principal engagements and outcomes that ended each career. Chapters emphasize daily customs, missionary and treaty pressures, and the political and military choices facing tribal leaders, with clear, chaptered narratives pitched to younger readers.
