Beschreibung

In "The Ward of Tecumseh," Crittenden Marriott crafts a historical narrative that intricately intertwines personal and collective histories amidst the backdrop of early 19th-century North America. The novel follows its protagonist, a young ward of the renowned Shawnee leader Tecumseh, exploring themes of identity, loyalty, and cultural conflict. Marriott employs a rich, evocative prose style that mirrors the oral traditions of Native American storytelling, immersing the reader in the tumultuous landscape of pre-colonial America and the tensions leading to the War of 1812. This work finds its place in a broader literary context that interrogates colonial narratives and seeks to represent underrepresented voices in history, positioning itself as a significant contribution to both American literature and Indigenous studies. Crittenden Marriott, a scholar in American history with a particular focus on Indigenous relations, draws deeply from his research and understanding of Native American cultures, providing authenticity to the narrative. His passion for preserving these often-overlooked stories is evident throughout the text, illuminating both the complexities of interpersonal relationships and the majestic, and at times tragic, realities of Native life during pivotal historical moments. Readers seeking a nuanced and deeply engaging portrayal of Native American history will find "The Ward of Tecumseh" an essential addition to their literary collection. Marriott'Äôs compelling narrative not only enlightens but invites reflection on the themes of coexistence and conflict, making it a recommendable read for anyone interested in the rich tapestry of America's past.

    After retiring as a veterinarian, the author had much more time to spend with others, so he related stories of many of the experiences in his life. He was asked by family, friends, and others with whom he had shared if he had recorded these stories. Ernest never wanted to write his life story, but God revealed to him that he should record his experiences and title the book An Ordinary Man, An Extraordinary God. 
    His procrastination to write ended when he had a back fusion with two rods and ten screws which required him to lay on a bone stimulator for four hours a day for six months; and during that time, he was not able to do any physical work. The book would show how God could take a country boy raised on a farm and use him to bring glory to God. Explaining how God used him could encourage others who also thought they were "nobodies" to realize that God could use any person that believed in God and spent time in His Word to walk in the Spirit and be led by the Spirit. 
    The book begins just before Ernest received Jesus as his Lord and Savior and continues showing how, through His Word, the author received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, learned to walk in the Spirit, witnessed about God to others, prayed the prayer of faith for healing, cast out demons, and did other works of God. His walk with God and how he grew in faith is shared chronologically in the book. Now he could understand the groaning of the spirit within a Christian for the day of redemption when he would enter God's presence and be with Jesus for eternity.
