TECUMSEH

_A DRAMA_

BY CHARLES MAIR.


"When the white men first set foot on our shores, they
were hungry; they had no places on which to spread
their blankets or to kindle their fires. They were
feeble; they could do nothing for themselves. Our
fathers commiserated their distress, and shared freely
with them whatever the Great Spirit had given to his
red children."

_From_ TECUMSEH'S _speech to the Osages_.
