“McKenney and Hall's book upon the Indians is a valuable work. The portraits of the chiefs alone would make a history, and they are beautifully colored.”
Fuller, Margaret. Summer on the Lakes, in 1843. Boston: Little, Brown & Co., 1844.
“The Flying Pigeon (Ratchewaine) was the wife of a barbarous chief, who had six others, but she was his only true wife.”
Fuller, Margaret. Woman in the Nineteenth Century. New York: Greeley & McElrath, 1845.
Inferred Fuller alludes to an anecdote from McKenney and Hall's History of the Indian Tribes of North America. The title is inferred because the excerpt names the subject ('Flying Pigeon') but does not explicitly name the book.
