AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
McKenney and Hall's work consists of a series of pictures and biographical notes of famous American Indians of the late 1700's and early 1800's. In this source, five biographical sketches have been reproduced. The longest of these chapters concerns Keokuk, a Sauk, who was chief of the combined Sauk and Fox nation. Since the authors do not distinguish between major and minor chiefs, all chiefs have been designated similarly. Footnotes to the text appear at the end of each chapter.
