1.— CO-WOCK-COO-CHEE, or WILDCAT. (Painted Dec. 1842.) 

 A Seminole Chief, and one of the most celebrated of his tribe ; possessed of much vanity 

 and an indomitable spirit, he has won for himself an exalted name and standing among his 

 people. 



At the outbreak of the Florida War, he was a mere boy; but he shouldered his rifle, and 

 fought with so much courage and desperation, that he was soon looked up to as a master- 

 spirit. This gathered a band of warriors about him, who adopted him as their chief leader. 

 At the head of this party he became a formidable enemy of the United States troops, and 

 gave them much trouble during that campaign, and probably would never have fallen into 

 the hands of the whites, had he been able to procure food and ammunition for his band : 

 being reduced to a state of starvation, he was obliged to surrender, and, by treaty stipula- 

 tions with the United States Government, was with his people removed west of the Missis- 

 sippi.

5.— TUSTENUGGEE CHOP-KO, OR. THE BIG WARRIOR. (Painted Deo 1842.) 

 A Seminole Mikasukie Sub-chief, and one of the most distinguished 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 intelligence or 

 shrewdness ; on the contrary, it exhibits evidence of a capacity to commit any act, however 

 cruel and atrocious, at the bidding of his chief. 



6.— CIIO-CO-TE TUSTENUGGEE, (Painted Dec. 1842.)
