Neil Lovell's Reviews > Gallop Toward the Sun: Tecumseh and Harrison's Struggle for the Destiny of a Nation

Overall, it was fine enough to read. I struggled with two things. Firstly, the start was tough to understand chronologically. Jump ahead, jump back, too much context or out of chronologcialy sequence that made me want (and succeeded in doing) to put the book down. Second, I think Stark caught himself up in the caricatures he created for both Harrison and Tecumseh. I'm not going to vilify Tecumseh or celebrate Harrison, but the other extreme is also not an complete representation. Nearly every time the audience is introduced to Tecumseh around a council fire, they receive another noble depiction. Similarly, not always within the confines of the specific subject on the page, the audience hears again how greedy and cunning Harrison was. I felt like both descriptions needed more depth, not just in proving the caricatures Stark provided, but also in demonstrating the good and bad of both. I enjoyed some of the writing, but finished it wanting more.
