FALL 2009 79 ethnographies, but no secondary sources published later than 1964. Since The Shawnee is a reprint of a volume originally published in 1993, one would not expect to see citations of recent historical scholarship on the Shawnee by John Sugden, Colin Calloway, and Stephen Warren. However, the essay also makes no mention of James Howard’s 1981 ethnography Shawnee!, of R. David Edmunds’s biographies of Tecumseh and Tenskwatawa, or of Richard White’s monumental 1991 history of The Middle Ground. These books would have enriched Clark’s treatment of, for example, the Shawnees’ five socio-political divisions (Chillicothe, Hathawekela, Kispogogi, Mequachake or Mekoche, and Piqua), and their growing dependence on the European fur trade. These shortcomings aside, The Shawnee remains a thoughtful and engaging study of early Shawnee migration and social organization. It should prove particularly useful for those wishing a short introduction to seventeenth and eighteenth-century Shawnee history, or to that nation’s relationship with the region now known as Kentucky.
