    About this series

    Eight U.S. Presidents have died in office. Of those eight, seven were elected in a year that ended in zero. The only exception was Zachary Taylor who was elected in 1848, but President Taylor died in 1850. Maybe President Ronald Reagan broke the Curse of Tippecanoe? Maybe President George W. Bush broke the curse? Maybe curses aren't real and this is all coincidental? But if Tenskwatawa "The Prophet" truly attempted to curse William Henry Harrison and have he and every Great Chief chosen every twenty years die, then it's safe to say he was successful.

      Colonel Alexander McKee was a colonial British Indian agent who preferred to remain loyal to the government which had long employed him when the colonies decided to sever connections with the motherland. Since the rebellion proved successful, Alexander found himself out of step with the new order of patriotism which prevailed so strongly after the war and so his devotion to his government was condemned as a vice rather than as a virtue. This book explores the division within the McKee family that occurred when Alexander chose to remain loyal to the British crown while the majority of his kin supported the patriot cause.
