McKenney was the Superintendent of Indian Trade from 1816-1822 and after that office was abolished was appointed as Superintendent of Indian Affairs under the War Department 1824-1830. He was fired by President Jackson for considering the Indian "our intellectual equal." However he was also in favor of ridding the Indians west of the Mississippi River. This is unarguably one of the first high quality first-hand reports published about our early involvements with American Indians. unknown
1844rif. W1843Philadelphia: Daniel Rice & James G. Clark 1844. Folio 18 3/8 inches by 14 1/2 inches print from the third and final folio edition. The print is in excellent condition with vivid coloring and none of the foxing frequently seen see the Smithsonian's copy for example. There are some smudges in the margins--well away from the image; there is one very small chip out of the bottom right corner in the margin and one 1/2" closed tear on the bottom edge. It is appropriate that McKenney and Hall identified this leader as "The Orator" because the Winnebago called themselves "Hochungra" which translates as "People of the Big Voice." Oratory was highly valued by tribe members and it was natural that they would send their best orator to speak for them in negotiations in Washington. Third Edition. Paper. Collectible-Very Good.

1842rif. 7305Philadelphia:: F.W. Greenough 1842. First edition. Very Good. Very Good condition. Original lithograph drawn printed and coloured at J.T. Bowen's Lithographic Establishment No 94 Walnut Street Philadelphia. Folio 14 x 20 inches. Untrimmed with light foxing and offset yet with rich original color. Matted in Rag Board. As the oil on canvas portrait of Paddy-Carr by Charles Bird King was destroyed by fire in 1865 this original hand-colored lithograph by JT Bowen is the only surviving rendering of this essential chapter of Americana. During the first quarter of the nineteenth century as the Native American people traveled to Washington DC to discuss their plight; the loss of their lands and destruction of their people they appealed to Thomas McKenney the then Chief to the Bureau of Indian Affairs in whom they found a sincere advocate in the efforts to improve the welfare of the Native American people. After meeting to discuss the situation McKenney invited every one of his guests to sit for formal portraits and included all members; not only the Chiefs but also the Warriors Braves and Women. A pioneer in the study of North American ethnology and superintendent to the Bureau of Indian Affairs under John C. Calhoun Thomas Loraine McKenney Chestertown MD 1785-1859 assembled in his War Department office a virtual archive of the American Indian; a large collection of books manuscripts artifacts and paintings that constituted the first museum in Washington DC. The core of the collection was a gallery of 150 portraits of prominent Indian men and women most of them painted by Washington artist Charles Bird King Newport RI 1785-1862 during official visits to Washington. In addition King copied and painted several portraits after James Otto Lewis 1799-1858. These portraits were later published as part of a mammoth lithography project that McKenney conceived of and launched with the aid of writer James Hall Philadelphia 1793-1868. Known as the History of the Indian Tribes of North America the publication features the portraits and biographies of 120 Indian men and women from McKenneys collection. The entire archive eventually ended up at the Smithsonian Institution where the portraits were destroyed by fire in 1865. ANB. 0300320 Single sheet matted in rag board F.W. Greenough, unknown
