Another Tecumseh tomahawk...




Here we have another pipe tomahawk presented as a gift by Tecumseh. This one was given to James Galloway, Sr. This piece is in the collection of the Fort Ancient Museum, Ohio Historical Society. I wish I was better at taking pictures of items under glass in appallingly dark museum conditions. A brief biography of J. Galloway, Sr. is: http://historyofohio.blogspot.com/2009/04/james-galloway-family.html

Not even sure if there is a good way to take pictures through glass cabinets? Thanks for sharing.

You need a polarizer filter on your camera and a bouncing flash. ;) Where is this Fort Ancient Museum?
