Description
Portrait
of
Colonel
Lewis
, also
known
as
Qua-Ta-Wa-Pea
, a
Shawnee
chief
, from "The
Indian
Tribes
of
North
America
, with
Biographical
Sketches
and
Anecdotes
of the
Principal
Chiefs
" by
Thomas
L
.
McKenney
and
James
Hall

1855
.
Qua-Ta-Wa-Pea
,
whose
name
means
"The
man

rises
again
" was
born
at
Pickaway
Plains
,
Ohio
. He
lived
for
many
years
near
Wapakoneta
,
Ohio
.
McKenney
and
Hall
say
in their
book
that
Colonel
Lewis
'
rise
to
chief
was
entirely
accidental
. An
American
government
official
mistook
Qua-Ta-Wa-Pea
for the
chief
and his
tribe
followed
suit
,
believing
that was the
wish
of the
government
.
Eventually
,
Colonel
Lewis
moved
to
land
west
of the
Mississippi
that was
given
to the
Shawnee
by the
American
government
, and there he
died
in
1826
.
Thomas
Loraine
McKenney
(1785–1859)
served
as the
U.S
.
Superintendent
of
Indian
trade
from
1816–1822
and
superintendent
of
Indian
affairs
from
1824-1830
.
James
Hall
(1793–1868)
was a
lawyer
,
writer
, and
editor
who
lived
in
Cincinnati
,
Ohio
from
1833
until
his
death
in
1868
. Their
book
was
illustrated
with
portraits
from the
Indian
gallery
in the
Department
of
War
in
Washington
