Description:
|
Described in Vol. II, p. 211. Caption from Truettner catalog of Catlin's Indian Gallery. Entry from Catlin's 1848 catalog reads, "Nah-se-us-kuk, the Whirling Thunder; eldest son of Black Hawk. A very handsome man. He distinguished himself in the Black Hawk War." Originally painted in 1832 (Truettner, 1979, p. 144) The figure in this plate lacks the roach seen in the original oil.
