The Shawnees were originally allied with the British, but they later switched sides and fought for the Americans. This decision was based on a number of factors, including the Shawnee's desire for land and autonomy, and their belief that the Americans would be more likely to respect their rights than the British.

The Shawnees played a key role in a number of important battles during the war, including the Battle of Point Pleasant and the Battle of Fallen Timbers. They also participated in raids and skirmishes throughout the Ohio Valley and the Great Lakes region.

The war had a profound impact on the Shawnees. They lost many lives and much of their land. However, they also gained a new sense of independence and self-determination. The war helped to shape the Shawnees' identity and their place in American history.

This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the American Revolution or Native American history. It is a well-written and engaging account of the Shawnee people's role in the war, and it sheds new light on this critical period in American history.
