His father named him after the Shawnee war chief. <br /><br />Don't you just love finding out all these facts? I'm currently reading the memoirs of General Sherman. Fascinating recount of history.

The American frontier could be a very brutal place, especially during these wars. When you begin to delve into the research, some of the true life stories are more fascinating than fiction.

Learned some interesting facts - I've never felt the Indians were treated fairly, and while - I don't think violence was the answer, they deserved more respect, re: their land, than they were given.<br /><br />I am a descendant of Marmaduke VanSwearingen, who for years has been known as Blue Jacket. He supposedly was captured by the Shawnee, & made a war chief, because they were so impressed with his bravery. He was wearing a blue jacket when captured, hence, the name. There was an outdoor drama re: his life, that ran in Lima, Oh., for over 25 years. A few years ago, a dispute ensued - claiming Blue Jacket was not Marmaduke, & that DNA from descendants have proved this. I don't guess we will ever know, for sure, but no other explanation for the disappearance of Marmaduke has surfaced. <br /><br />bonnieroof60(at)yahoo(dot)com bontonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02852536941656729576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-75512703310109298402013-11-06T23:36:38.588-05:002013-11-06T23:36:38.588-05:00Good information on Tecumseh, who I'd forgotte...Good information on Tecumseh, who I'd forgotten much about him.

When I travel the wooded hills of my southern Indiana, I can easily imagine Indian braves luring in the forests along the roadside. I love bringing those images alive in my stories.
