McKenney's travels with the Chippewa Indians along the Great Lakes during the mid-1820's. "The author was for many years superintendent of Indian affairs at Washington, and was brought in constant association with the principal men of the nations and tribes which sent representatives to the seat of government. In this tour he formed a more intimate association with the great mass of the Indian population, and was able to present much valuable information regarding it" - Field 994; Sabin 43407; Howes M132.
