On a warm day in July, nine campers met for the first time. They ranged in age from 2nd to 6th grade. Some were excited about camp and could hardly wait to begin to write. Others would rather, quite frankly, be outside playing. Some were quite experienced writers....others not so much! But they all came together to form a writing community for that hot week in July. They learned to create together, and were surprised that writing isn't always a quiet or solitary experience. Many developed a "voice" for the first time. Everyone grew as writers. Each camper chose at least three pieces for this journal. Some chose many more than that. We hope that you enjoy each and every "voice" presented in this collected work.

The Sign of the Prophet: A Tale of Tecumseh and Tippecanoe"** by J. B. Naylor is a historical novel set against the backdrop of the early 19th-century American frontier. The story centers around Tecumseh, the renowned Shawnee leader, and the events leading up to the Battle of Tippecanoe, a significant conflict in American history.

The narrative delves into the political and social dynamics of the time, providing readers with a vivid portrayal of Tecumseh's leadership and the struggles of his people. The Sign of the Prophet"** is notable for its detailed depiction of historical events and its emphasis on the character of Tecumseh as a pivotal figure in Native American history. Naylor's work provides both an engaging story and an educational look at a crucial period in American history, offering insights into the complexities of the interactions between Native Americans and early American settlers.

"An insightful, unflinching portrayal of the remarkable siblings who came closer to altering the course of American history than any other Indian leaders."⁠ —H.W. Brands, author of The Zealot and the Emancipator The first biography of the great Shawnee leader to make clear that his misunderstood younger brother, Tenskwatawa, was an equal partner in the last great pan-Indian alliance against the United States. Until the Americans killed Tecumseh in 1813, he and his brother Tenskwatawa were the co-architects of the broadest pan-Indian confederation in United States history. In previous accounts of Tecumseh's life, Tenskwatawa has been dismissed as a talentless charlatan and a drunk. But award-winning historian Peter Cozzens now shows us that while Tecumseh was a brilliant diplomat and war leader--admired by the same white Americans he opposed--it was Tenskwatawa, called the "Shawnee Prophet," who created a vital doctrine of religious and cultural revitalization that unified the disparate tribes of the Old Northwest. Detailed research of Native American society and customs provides a window into a world often erased from history books and reveals how both men came to power in different but no less important ways. Cozzens brings us to the forefront of the chaos and violence that characterized the young American Republic, when settlers spilled across the Appalachians to bloody effect in their haste to exploit lands won from the British in the War of Independence, disregarding their rightful Indian owners. Tecumseh and the Prophet presents the untold story of the Shawnee brothers who retaliated against this threat--the two most significant siblings in Native American history, who, Cozzens helps us understand, should be writ large in the annals of America.

The Carnival Campaign tells the fascinating story of the pivotal 1840 presidential campaign of General William Henry Harrison and John Tyler—"Tippecanoe and Tyler Too." Pulitzer Prize–nominated former Wall Street Journal reporter Ronald Shafer relates in a colorful, entertaining style how the campaign marked a series of "firsts" that changed politicking forever: the first campaign as mass entertainment; the first "image campaign," in which strategists portrayed Harrison as a poor man living in a log cabin sipping hard cider (he lived in a mansion and drank only sweet cider); the first time big money was a factor; the first time women could openly participate; and more. While today's electorate has come to view campaigns that emphasize style over substance as a matter of course, this book shows voters how it all began.
