on the upper Missouri, were surprised by a large party of Sioux, who fell upon them and 

 murdered all but one of the party, who succeeded in making good his escape and return to 

 his people. Second Eye immediately started with a small force to avenge the death of his 

 warriors ; after traveling several weeks, they fell in with the identical party who committed 

 the depredation. The Sioux, anticipating an attack, retreated to a deep ravine in the moun- 

 tains in order to defend themselves more advantageously. Second Eye, perceiving the many 

 disadvantages under which he labored, but having an indomitable spirit, determined to sur- 

 mount all obstacles, and obtain that vengeance which the death of his warriors loudly called 

 for. He waited until all was quiet within the ravine, raised the war-whoop, rushed madly 

 upon them, and massacred the whole party ; he having with his own hands cut off the heads 

 of sixteen Sioux, which he threw to his warriors to scalp. 



He speaks some English, and is frequently employed by the United States and Texas as 

 a " runner" to the wild Indians, with whom he carries on a very successful trade. He de- 

 rives his name of Long Traveler from the fact that he has crossed the mountains to Oregon, 

 and has visited Santa F6, California, and the Navahoe Village.

 A Delaware Warrior of distinction in his tribe. 



46. CAPT. McCALLAH. (Painted 1843.) 



Principal Chief of the Texan Delawares. This man is very influential among his people ;

 pensable at all councils convened either by the United States or Texas, for the purpose of 

 negotiating treaties.

51. PAH-QUE-SAH-AH, OE LITTLE TECUMSEH. (Painted 1843.) 



A son of Tecumseh. He has none of the extraordinary traits of character for which his 

 sire was celebrated, and is of very little note in his tribe ; he was in the battle in which his 

 father fell. 



52. KEOKUK. (Painted May, 1846.) 



Head Chief of the Sacs and Foxes. Keokuk is in all respects a magnificent savage. Bold, 

 enterprising, and impulsive, he is also politic, and possesses an intimate knowledge of human 

 nature, and a tact which enables him to bring the resources of his mind into prompt ope- 

 ration. His talents as a military chief and civil ruler are evident from the discipline which 

 exists among his people. 



This portrait was painted in the spring of 1846, on the Kansas River, where he, with his 

 people, were temporarily residing after their removal from the Desmoines River.
