Description
This edition recovers Elizabeth Oakes Smithâ?Ts successful 1842 novel The Western Captive; or, The Times of Tecumseh and includes many of Oakes Smithâ?Ts other writings about Native Americans, including short stories, legends, and autobiographical and biographical sketches. The Western Captive portrays the Shawnee leader as an American hero and the white heroineâ?Ts spiritual soulmate; in contrast to the later popular legend of Tecumsehâ?Ts rejected marriage proposal to a white woman, Margaret, the â?ocaptiveâ?? of the title, returns Tecumsehâ?Ts love and embraces life apart from white society. These texts are accompanied by selections from Oakes Smithâ?Ts Woman and Her Needs and her unpublished autobiography, from contemporary captivity narratives and biographies of William Henry Harrison depicting the Shawnee, and from writings by her colleagues Jane Johnston Schoolcraft and Henry Rowe Schoolcraft.
