CHAPTER I.
SHOWING, BY WAY OF INTRODUCTION, HOW RED EAGLE HAPPENED TO BE A MAN OF
CONSEQUENCE IN HISTORY.
It is a long journey from the region round about the great lakes, where
Tecumseh lived, to the shores of the Alabama and the Tombigbee rivers,
even in these days of railroads and steamboats; and it was a much longer
journey when Tecumseh was a terror to the border and an enemy whom the
United States had good reason to fear. The distance between Tecumseh's
home and that of Red Eagle is greater than that which separates Berlin
from Paris or Vienna; and when Tecumseh lived there were no means of
communication between the Indians of the North-west and those of the
South, except by long, dangerous, and painful journeys on foot.
