“The story of a bruised and threatened culture. Thom is able to get into the thoughts and emotions of his characters.” -Dee Brown, Los Angeles Times The dialogue has the ring of reality about it. “ Thom shows how, in honest, capable hands, fictionalized biography can add verisimilitude to the life and times of this extraordinary America. Hard Striker saw the unsoma, the birth sign, and named his son Tecumseh, meaning Panther in the Sky. In 1768, when Turtle Mother gave birth to a strong baby boy in the heart of the Shawnee nation, a green-yellow shooting star streaked across the heavens. “Oh, what a man this will be, with such a sign as that!”
