E X P L A N A T IO N OF T H E P L A T E S .
The original of the Frontispiece was painted from life by J. Neagle of this city, a distinguished
and well known artist, to whose politeness I am indebted for the privilege of using it on this occasion.
The lithographed copy was made by M. S. Weaver, of this city, a young artist of great promise
in both accuracy and beauty of delineation. The subject of this portrait, Ongpatonga, was an
Omahaw chief, distinguished in his tribe as a warrior and orator. Among the multitude of Indian
portraits which have come under m y notice, I know of no one that embraces more characteristic traits
than this, as seen in the retreating forehead, the low brow, the dull and seemingly unobservant eye,
the large, aquiline nose, the high cheek bones, full mouth and chin, and angular face.
In reference to the Map at page 95, we may merely add, that a dotted line between the Gulf
of Mexico and the great lakes, denotes the principal range of the mounds, and consequently the
probable ancient seats of the Toltecan tribes in that region.
