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. For this biography of Tecumseh that includes sketches of a number of other famous men of the Ohio frontier, the authors relied mostly upon the work of other writers, and their recommended sources for further reading are at the back of the book.
