The War of 1812 in the Old Northwest by Alec R. Gilpin (review)

82 OHIO VALLEY HISTORY insight and balance, Jortner examines the ideological roots of Euro-American deism and Native American shamanism. His study will remind readers of the work of anthropologist Anthony F. C. Wallace, even if Jortner rightfully critiques Wallace’s analysis of Native American revitalization movements and the shifting ideologies of early nineteenth century Shawnee culture (9-10). Unfortunately, Jortner displays a similar lack of understanding of the late prehistoric history of the Eastern Woodlands (16-17), and in particular the archaeology and anthropology of the Mississippian cultural tradition. He also misidentifies the location of the Cahokia Mounds, which lie near the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers rather than the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers. But Jortner has not written a monograph about the archaeology and late prehistory of the Midwest, and he should be applauded for his efforts to reach back in time and sketch the historical foundations of eighteenth century Native America. If readers seek one book about the early national West during the War of 1812, The Gods of Prophetstown should be their choice. Historians owe Jortner a debt of gratitude for his detailed examination of the ideological and cultural values of William Henry Harrison and Tenskwatawa, two different yet strikingly similar historical figures.
