 The most famous war pipe of the h. dians was of European manufacture, made by the whites IS an arm for their Indian allies. This was the famous tom ahawk pipe. with it's keen graceful blade on one side and it's little bowl, connected with the perforated handle, on the other. During the revolutionary war. so says an old record, the English were compelled to make their toma- hawks after the native fashion with a pipe bowl opposite the blade of the wea- pon before the Indians could be suffi- ciently armed as allies" The French

Not only could they be used in batte and smoked afterward but the wooden handles gave a splendid opportunity for keeping a record in notches of the num- Der of victims that had fallen to the owners prowess. With them the In- dians always carried a tobacco bag off, ten very beautifully worked with beads after the native fashion and never very much influenced by European influence except as the cross gradually became part of the scheme of decoration. As early as 1920 the great chief "Massa- soyt" whose name with a different spell ing is familiar to every American school boy. was described as "a lusty man of middle age, of grave demure counte- nance and sparing of speech. He had a long knife hanging in string at his bosom and behind at his back a little pouch of tobacco. This was furniture he was never without. His men also had their bags of tobacco at their baeks.' And in 1921, when Samoset and his followers brought parehed corn to the struggling colony at Plymouth, they 'had a little tobacco in bag. oe which they drank frequently" drinking tohac- co in those days being what we now mean by smoking it.
