This Cherokee Indian was known as "Dragging Canoe". Being too small to carry a canoe he earned his name as a small boy. Eager to join the tribes warriors in battle he dragged a canoe towards the river.
He was a scarred survivor of chicken pox which left pockmarks on his face.
But from a child he grew into a fearsome war chief. He was called the Red Napoleon and still today he is considered to be a military genius.
He waged a 18 year war against the whites who kept encroaching on the Indian lands that had been agreed to through a contract to purchase millions of acres that included Kentucky and what is known now as Middle Tennessee. It was the largest sale of land in North American History. It was called the Transylvania Purchase.
The battle was occurring at the same time that the Declaration of Independence was being written.
This life size mannequin was photographed while at the beautiful museum in Sycamore Shoals State Park in Elizabethton Tennessee.
AVAILABLE as a rolled print, poster, framed fine art print, metal, acrylic, wood or canvas print. Framed and canvas prints for your home, restaurant, hotel, bed and breakfast, office, waiting room, etc.

A great and poignant portrait which not only reflects the history of this Cherokee Indian Chief called "Dragging Canoe" - but also the sad historic conflict between the Native Indian Tribes and the often deceitful, and conquering White Americans. -
