The paperback edition was released in 1990. The book is historical fiction at its very best and was first published in 1989. James Alexander Thom of Bloomington, Indiana wrote about the life of the Shawnee Chief, Tecumseh in his book entitled Panther in the Sky. Tecumseh Shawnee Chief Is The Panther In The Sky His name means “shooting star” or “panther across the sky” and is how the author Thom derived the title of this remarkable book. Panther in the Sky begins with Tecumseh’s birth on a night when a comet streaked across the sky around March 9, 1768. Thom tells a believable story that makes you feel that you are actually there living Tecumseh’s life with him and the Native Americans at this time in our country’s early history. The book is about the life of Tecumseh a Shawnee Chief who tried desperately to unite his people to stop the encroachment of the white settlers into his land. One of my favorite historical fiction books is Panther in the Sky by James Alexander Thom.
