Show Notes

By the late 1760s, wars between Europeans Settlers and Native Tribes were already legendary, even though the most legendary figure from these conflicts had just been born. 

AMERICAN JIHAD tells the story of Tecumseh and Tenskwatawa, the Shawnee brothers who waged holy war on the American frontier. In our first episode, we cover the early life and family of the brothers, and the growing incursions from their new neighbors.
