Plate No. 8 MISTIPPEE, Octavo 1872 McKenney & Hall History of Indian Tribes

Description: MISTIPPEE Plate No. 8 This image from Vol. I of the 1872 Octavo edition will also include the biography pages from the text. MISTIPPEE is described as follows in his biographical pages: "This is a son of Yoholo Micco, who bears a name, the origin of which would be discovered with difficulty by the most cunning etymologist; and we are happy to have it in our power to solve a problem, which might else, at some far distant day, cause an infinite waste of valuable time and curious learning. The parents of this youth, have decided on rearing him after the fashions of their white neighbors, bestowed upon him the very ancient and respectable appellation of Benjamin, from which soon arose the usual abbreviation of Ben and Benny, which the young chief bore during the halcyon days of infancy. To this familiar name, respect of the family soon prefixed the title of Mr.; and, in the mouths of the Indians, Mr. Ben soon became Mistiben, and finally Mistippee - the original Benjamin being lost in the superior euphony of that very harmonious word mister. This hand painted color plate is in nice condition and reflects the young Mistippee in a light striped jacket with decorative trims with a satchel and facial decorations. It is one of the more interesting outfits in this collection of images. See pictures for overall condition but it mainly has age related toning along the outer edge and lower right corner. Hand colored lithograph color plates were by Henry Inman based on paintings by Charles Bird King, James Otto Lewis, and Peter Rindisbacher. Most of the original paintings were destroyed in a fire and the Henry Inman lithographs preserve the images.
