"A valuable chronicle of the greatness and majesty of the Indian chiefs."-- Christian Science Monitor Told through the life stories of nine Indian chiefs, this narrative depicts the American Indian effort to preserve a heritage and resist the changes brought by the white man. Hiawatha, King Philip, Pop???, Pontiac, Tecumseh, Osceola, Black Hawk, Crazy Horse, and Chief Joseph each represent different tribal backgrounds, different times and places, and different aspects of Indian leadership.

Josephy places his Indian heroes in a broad historical setting and pictures them as fighters for freedom in the American tradition."-- The New York Times Book Review
