Only biography of Shawnee war chief Blue Jacket (1743-ca1808)
John Sugden is an independent scholar and a former associate editor of Oxford University Press's American National Biography project. His books include Tecumseh: A Life, winner of the Society for Military History Distinguished Book Award.
"A major contribution to the field of Indian history and biography, as well as to frontier history. John Sugden has produced a dramatic, authoritative biography that completely destroys the widely accepted fiction that Blue Jacket was a white captive. This volume should establish Blue Jacket with Red Cloud, Crazy Horse, Geronimo, and Pontiac."--Helen Hornbeck Tanner, co-author of The Peopling of North America: The Visual Atlas of the Great Migrations into North America, from the Ice Age to Ellis Island and Beyond "Sugden carefully sifts through the legends about Blue Jacket and, with usually convincing logic, determines what Blue Jacket did and did not do."--History, Vol 86, No. 284, October 2001
