Book excerpt: A biography of Little Turtle, the single most important Miami Indian war chief in the old Northwest Territory. During the beginning years of the American experiment in democracy, American settlers in the new world faced hardships in winning their freedom from the British, only to find other enemies in the west; native Americans who fought to the death to keep their ancestral lands intact and their culture vibrant. Little Turtle found support in his efforts to thwart the ambitions of the invading whites in a most unusual place - white children who became 'Indian' after being abducted and then raised in native American families. Little Turtles' true story includes accounts of his family that included his son and wife, both of white parentage, both who were taken from their white families while they were children. American patriots at the time called Indians savages, but George Washington seemed to have a more balanced view as he first raised an army to battle the Little Turtle confederacy and subsequently served as the host for Little Turtle's visit to the east, showering the Indian war chief with gifts after several pivotal battles. For Little Turtle and his family it was the best of times and the worst of times as the Indian life-style slowly gave way to the technology and greed of land-thirsty white settlers who understood little of Indian life beyond killing of warriors and devastation of Indian villages until the Indian families were forced to flee for their lives, homeless and devoid of the means to take care of themselves. Little Turtle was the architect of the Indian's struggle, mostly successful, until he realized the utter futility of further resistance to the white invaders. He died as a celebrated chief in his homeland at Fort Wayne, Indiana, not of war wounds, but of the complications of gout, the very same illness that plagued and then killed his chief adversary, U.S. General and military hero, "Mad" Anthony Wayne.

Book excerpt: The new United States was faced with a fundamental problem: to expand, it had to settle lands to the west of the Appalachian Mountains, ceded to it by the British. However, the mountains were occupied by Native American groups who had no desire to make way for white settlers. The treaty had created a vast frontier for the fledgling nation, and any American settlers pushing west along it were bound to encounter hostile natives. The conflicts that followed consisted mostly of the Native Americans suffering defeat in the face of a better-equipped adversary, interspersed with binding treaties, which, on the side of the federal government, proved not very binding at all. Occasionally, however, there arose a Native American leader of such ability that such defeats were temporarily reversed, and Little Turtle, the war chief of the Miami tribe, was one such man. Under his leadership, a confederation of Miami and other tribes inflicted the worst defeat ever suffered by an American army in the newly independent nation. Almost a quarter of the Army's total strength was lost in a single battle, but while later Native American leaders such as Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse have become legends, Little Turtle is not as well-remembered. This is particularly odd, given that he actually defeated the American military and helped shape the development of the nascent United States and its military. Before Little Turtle's War, it was believed that the U.S. did not need a professional army; that ordinary citizens would take up arms in times of threat and serve in militias as they had done in the fight against the British. After this war, the U.S. government was forced to recognize the need for a professional standing army.
