TUSTENUGGEE CHOP-KO, OR THE BIG WARRIOR. 



(Painted Dec. 1842.) 



A Seminole Mikasukie Sub-chief, and one of the most distin 

 guished warriors of his tribe. He is six feet three inches in height, 

 and well proportioned, and is esteemed one of the best ball-players 

 among his people. His countenance indicates any thing but intelli 

 gence or shrewdness; on the contrary, it exhibits evidence of a 

 capacity to commit any act, however cruel and atrocious, at the bid 

 ding of his chief. He is said to have cut off the hands of Mrs. Mont 

 gomery after her murder, for the purpose of procuring the rings upon 

 her fingers. 



6. 



CHO-CO-TE TUSTENUGGEE. 



(Painted Dec. 1842.)

 pated; he is painted in the costume in which he presented himself, 

 with a bottle of &quot;fire- water&quot; in his hand. He possesses an amiable 

 disposition, and is passionately fond of joking, which has acquired 

 for him the celebrity of punster to the band. 



HAL-BURTA-HADJO, OR ALLIGATOR. 

 (Painted Aug. 1843.) 



A Seminole Chief, celebrated for his prowess as a warrior. His 

 name has been frequently before the public, as the instigator and

 le has suffered much from sickness since his removal, and looks de- 

 ^ected and careworn.
