"Thlocklo Tustenuggee, or Tiger Tail." A leader since 1823 and a
prominent militant among the Seminoles, Tiger Tail was well known to the whites
of the territory before the war, having been a frequent visitor to Tallahassee
and a regular guest at the house of banker Robert Gamble. This image, which
comes from N. Orr's engraving in Sprague's 1848 history of the war, was probably
based on a sketch drawn from life, like other works in Sprague's book.
