Kah-Ge-Ga-Gah-Bowh, the Ojibbeway Chief...Drury-Lane Theatre, 1850. Creator: Unknown

Kah-Ge-Ga-Gah-Bowh, the Ojibbeway Chief, sketched during the Temperance Meeting in Drury-Lane Theatre, 1850. Missionary minister the Rev. George Copway said that The Indians received the first white men with kindness and hospitality; but the white men requited them by robbing them of their corn, and, worse still, by introducing the destroying "fire-water" among them'. The reverend spoke of...his plan for the re-settlement of the Indians, stating that he had marked out on a map a space of 150 miles square, between the Missouri and Mississippi, at the base of the Rocky Mountains, in the most eligible place, and this proposition had received the sanction of many intelligent persons in the United States. If this tract was given to them, they would settle down as agriculturists, give up their roaming habits, and cultivate the arts of peace'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
