Tecumseh and the Shawnee prophet
Edward Eggleston (1837-1902) was a popular historian and novelist who was raised in rural Indiana. No biographical information about the co-author, Lillie Eggleston Seelye, was found. Some of Edward Eggleston’s books about Indiana are available on other pages of this website.
