This original, hand-colored lithograph comes from the first octavo edition of McKenney & Hall’s History of the Indian Tribes of North America, hand colored, printed and published by J.T. Bowen, 1848, in Philadelphia.

 An admirer and supporter of the American Indians, Thomas McKenney spent his tenure in office fighting for their cause and preserving their legacy through a gallery of paintings that were commissioned by various artists. Unfortunately, the original paintings burned in a fire, and all that is left to remember these Indians are the lithographs found in History which were modeled off the paintings.

This print is an original antique print, not a modern reproduction.  It is authentic. Due to its age, it may have slight imperfections such as foxing so, please, examine the octavo carefully to be satisfied, as photos tell better than words.

Itcho- Tustennuggee.

Itcho means deer and Tustennuggee, warrior, so he is therefore known by the English name of Deer Warrior," McKenney wrote in 1835. "He was doubtless famous when young for killing deer, and no doubt owes his name to killing deer.
