In the United States, Tecumseh became a legendary figure, the historical details of his life shrouded in mythology. According to Edmunds (2007), "the real Tecumseh has been overshadowed by a folk hero whose exploits combine the best of fact and fiction." Only in the late 20th century did academic historians begin to unravel fact from fiction. The fictional Tecumseh has been featured in numerous poems, plays, and novels, as well as several movies and outdoor dramas. Examples include George Jones's "Tecumseh; or, The prophet of the West" (1844 play), Mary Catherine Crowley's "Love Thrives in War" (1903 novel), "Brave Warrior" (1952 film), and Allan W. Eckert's "A Sorrow in Our Hearts: The Life of Tecumseh" (1992 novel). James Alexander Thom's 1989 novel "Panther in the Sky" was made into a TV movie, "Tecumseh: The Last Warrior" (1995). The outdoor drama "Tecumseh!" has been performed near Chillicothe, Ohio, since 1973. Written by Allan Eckert, the story features a fictional, doomed romance between Tecumseh and a white settler woman, an example of the "vanishing Indian" scenario popular with white Americans.
