Thlocklo Tustenuggee, or Tiger Tail
"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.
