Local Note

Same subject in 1838 edition. McKenney & Hall, Volume 1 (BAE Library Catalog Number 574) bears notation,"On stone by Corbould from a Painting by P. Rindisbacher. Printed by C. Hallmandel," and the figures are numbered.
McKenney and Hall, in a footnote to their text (Hodge edition volume 1, page 2) make a "correction" altering the tribe to Winnebago. However, in the detailed caption by Caleb Atwater, the names of the persons are given, including "Keokuk, the principal warrior of the Sauks" and "Morgan, the principal warrior of the Fox," and "Tiahma, the principal civil chief of the Foxes."
