Maungwudaus
- N HAVEN, Jan. l9, 40 was induced
to make myself acquainted with Maungwudaus
by my own relation TO his countrymen, for was
born among them, my father being missionary
to that people, nearly fifty years ago, from the
Missionary Society of Connecticut. l have
found him, so far as have become acquainted
with him. kind hearted, modest, intelligent, anc
centlemanly man-one of natures nobility. He
and his four sons are all that remain of compa
nv of thirteen, who went 10 England several
wears ago, and was with our countryman, MIR
Geo Catlin, TO assist in the exhibition of his won
wonderful collection of Indian CuriositieS His
Lecture and Exhibition were not only interesting
in high degree, but instructive, as showing the
manners and usages of Indian savage life, and
the effects which Christianity is producing upon
the widespread Oiibway race. All that l have
seen of these Indians, have given me new re
respect for the Indian, and higher idea of his
capabilities. The English and Christian name
of Maungwudaus is George Henry. take the
liberty of recommending him to clergymen and
others of my acquaintance TO whom this note
may be presented. He and his family are not &c
be COMPOUNDED at all with those unfortunate In
dams who sometimes visit this part of the coun
try under the direction of unprincipled white
men. LEONARD BACON.
