Book 1 of 3: The American Trilogy

See all formats and editions

A clash of civilizations, two powerful leaders, and a dramatic outcome that ripples through generations.

Following the French and Indian War, white settlers pour over the Appalachians and down the Ohio River. But native tribes of the Northwest Territory have long inhabited this land—and they are willing to fight to remain. Leading the Shawnee is Tecumseh—courageous, discerning, and capable of assembling fifty thousand warriors to rise together to chase the white settlers back east when he commands. How will warriors from Florida to Canada know when the command has come? For twenty years his answer has been the same: “I will stomp my foot.”

Against Tecumseh stands an equally talented, implacable, and gifted opponent, William Henry Harrison. The decades-long struggle between cultures, and men, comes to a dramatic head at the Battle of Tippecanoe, with history-shaping consequences.

A Panther Crosses Over is the first book of The American Trilogy series, three novels that reframe the epic legacy of the fight for the American Midwest.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Absolutely stunning. A Panther Crosses Over is either time travel or reincarnation, a tactile trip of immense believability." —Charlie Newton, award-winning author of Traitor's Gate, Privateers, and Canaryville

"The author does an excellent job of staying true to historical detail while making his characters fully realized individuals who drive the plot to an emotionally satisfying conclusion. Foster deftly presents the conflict from an Indigenous perspective . . . a solid tale with a firm historical grounding that examines early American conflicts." —Kirkus Reviews

"In A Panther Crosses Over, book one of his American Trilogy, Foster tells the epic story of a clash of civilizations in the vast Northwest Territory bounded to the north by the Great Lakes. Decades of war and shifting alliances of tribes, confederations, and empires culminate in the historic Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811. By then, Tecumseh, the great Shawnee warrior and statesman, has assembled a coalition of Native tribes to drive white settlers from the territory once and for all. William Henry Harrison, governor of the Indiana Territory, has other ideas. Foster has written a work of fiction that brings the history to life and enriches and fills in the gaps with the novelist's art and insight. The tale he tells is Homeric, not just in the savage grandeur of the subject and the complex nobility of the heroes but in the poetry of the smallest details and the hidden mysteries of the hearts and minds of its great cast of (real) characters." —Chris Flannery, host ofThe American Story podcast, senior fellow at the Claremont Institute

"Foster is a brilliant writer of historical fiction, covering times and places less well known than many others. A Panther Crosses Overis the latest and first of a trilogy that will cover a unique period of American historical life not so fully reported, involving characters we come to find fascinating and love . . . I was so deeply involved from the first pages that I stayed up all weekend to consume this wonderful tale of the Midwest's founding." —Jay Weston, film producer of the Academy Award-nominated Lady Sings the Blues and Billy Wilder's final comedy, Buddy Buddy

Great Read!

Foster's gift of story telling shines throughout this exciting historical novel. He kept me turning pages in the wee hours of the morning through his dramatic depiction of the action. Foster makes history interesting by entering the minds and hearts of the characters. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a fast-paced action novel with in-depth characters.

Excellent historical fiction!

I am amazed by the author’s knowledge, research and storytelling/writing! I read every night sometimes too late because the story grabbed me, and although I knew its sad outcome for our native Americans, I still needed to know this story because I only had some spotty memories of parts of it. Very few writers can take a reader to the place and time of the book. You did! I love it! Now, where is #2?

Outstanding Historical Fiction

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2022

This is great history and great story telling. From the French and Indian war to the War of 1812, world war between great European empires is being fought out in the American northwest territories. The great Shawnee statesman and warrior, Tecumseh, attempts to form a confederation of Indian tribes from Canada to Florida to ally with the British against the encroaching Americans. The story travels through the many Indian tribes from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. Tecumseh is the central character, and the drama is a noble and desperate struggle to survive. If you like Allan Eckert's work, you will very likely enjoy this book as the author was inspired by Eckert and dedicates this book to his memory. My wife and I both enjoyed reading this book.

A great read; a timeless and timely story

Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2022

Being a fan of historic fiction Foster’s telling of the conquest and settlement of the Northwest Territory is a superbly told piece of American history. It appears to be extremely well researched but the most interesting aspect is that the story is told from the point of view of the indigenous natives rather than that of American settlers. And it is woven with the most fundamental of human dramas – family – one Shawnee family of six brothers and one sister. Each of them with not only very different personalities but very different opinions as well – the kind of differences that tear families, and in this case worlds, apart. Really a great Read!

I was never "transported" to another world by this book

Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2022

I enjoyed reading this book and learning more about the state of indigenous Americans at the time between the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812 and, of course, Tecumseh. The research was excellent; however, I was never "transported" by this book and actually needed multiple days to read it.

A great read, engaging and insightful

Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2022

What happens in the fundamental clash between peoples who know the land as their Mother and other peoples who wish to chop up the land into small squares of privately owned property? Foster’s gift is to show us inside the hearts and minds of peoples on both sides of this conflict. In addition, Foster invites consideration of what happens when one man begins to glimpse a new, previously unanticipated possibility? These profound questions are embedded in a lively, exciting story of real men at the peak of their powers.
