See Hall (S.) and Copway (G.) 



Georga Copway, an Indian chief, was born, 

 according to his own "Life," etc. (Albany, 

 1847), near the mouth of the river Trent (On- 

 tario), in the fall of 1318. His Ojibway name 

 was Ka-ge-ga-gah-bowh. Mr. J. J. Enmegah- 

 bowh, of White Earth Reservation, Minnesota, 

 who claims to be a first cousin of Mr. Copway, 

 informs me that the latter, like himself, was a 

 "pure and full-blood Indian from the right 

 stock," that he was educated in the state of 

 Illinois and after acquiring considerable knowl- 

 edge in English books returned to his own 

 tribe as a missionary, and died at Pontiac, 

 Michigan, about 1863. Mr. Copway was for 

 many years connected with the press of New 

 York City, and lectured extensively in Europe 

 and the United States.
