  1. History of the Indian Tribes of North America

    The History of the Indian Tribes of North America is a three volume collection of lithographs of Native American portraits originally published by Thomas McKenney and James Hall . The majority of the portraits were originally painted by Charles Bird King . In 1821, Thomas McKenney, the U.S. superintendent of Indian Trade , started to commission portraits of American Indians who had traveled to Washington, D.C. , to negotiate List of United States treaties U.S. Native American treaties treaties with the federal government. McKenney would later express as his reason a desire to preserve in the archives of the Government whatever of the aboriginal man can be rescued from the destruction which awaits his race. He believed that American Indians should be looked upon as human beings, having bodies and souls like ours . At first, the growing collection of portraits hung in hid office. He later realized that he could make money by commissioning lithographs of the paintings and selling them in bound volumes, with every portrait complemented by a brief biography of the subject. After several years of struggling to find satisfactory financial support, McKenney approached Judge James Hall and secured Hall s financial baking, as well as his commitment to writing the biographies. Hall had a great deal of difficulty in finding the source material to write the biographies that McKenney promised Hall. He spent eight years tracking the subjects, about whom all McKenney had provided was a name. It became clear several times that the price of the subscription, 120 for the whole set, was nowhere near enough to defray the costs incurred during the exacting production process. And the Economic Panic of 1837 nearly dealt the project a deathblow, depriving many of its subscribers of the means to pay for their subscriptions. It was then that McKenney finally withdrew from the project completely. Hall and a new publisher brought the series to completion, with the final installment appearing in January ...   more details

Germanicus, seeking revenge for this defeat, invaded the lands of the Marsi in 14 AD with 12,000 legionnaires, 26 cohorts of auxiliaries and eight cavalry squadrons. Celebrating the feast of their goddess Tanfana , the Marsi were too drunk to respond effectively to the Roman surprise attack and were massacred.
