Cool picture of a 19th c man (from ebay)........ Authentic, original cabinet photo of the legendary Native American Ottowa/Potawatomi chief Shabbona (a.k.a. Shaubena, Zhabne.) The photo was taken in Hennepin, IL shortly before his death in 1859. The photograph was perhaps then mounted on the card by C.R. Lory of Kewanne, Illinois. Birth: 1775 Death: 1859 He was the grandnephew of the great chief Pontiac and served under chief Tecumseh at the battle of the Thames in 1813. Do you want to know more? CLICK HERE to read more about this fascinating historical character. The photograph is even more historically significant due to the inscription on the back by Charles K. Ladd (b. 1839) - an Illinois lawyer from Henry County and a figure of national political prominence known for his honesty and the strength of his convictions."
