"Read the amplification notes if nothing else. Imagine that colonization and its effects were all preserved on a transparent layer that could be lifted to reveal a reality that was everpresent underneath and lost for good. That's the experience I had while reading this. My perception of the Ohio valley and Great Lakes region will never be the same."
"Allen Eckert reminds me of James Michener in the way he writes with historical integrity. Each and every book is presented in a way that assures you of its authenticity and respect for characters. A Sorrow in our heart is perhaps the singular and only biography of a great American hero, Tecumseh, that has ever been written with a fondness towards fair play and decency for the man. If anyone loves the history of America and in particular the Ohio Valley, they should read this wonderful book. And any other of the Allen Eckert's related works. I have read them all and some of them twice. A real treat for a student of history."
