Engraved by Mc-Ardell.' In Chaloner Smith's British Mezzotinto Portraits, 584, is a description of the portrait by Parsons: 'H.L. directed and facing slightly to left, looking to front, feathers in scalplock, medals on neck, gorget with G.R. III, band over hunting shirt on right arm, knife in hand, robe over left shoulder, trees in background.'The legend read: 'F. Parsons pinxt. Js McArdell fecit. Cunne Shote, the Indian Chief, a great Warrior of the Cherokee Nation. Sold at the Golden Head, in Queen's Square, Ormond Street, Pr. 2s 6d.'"

content: A picture of Cunne Shote (actually Ku na gadoga), "Emperor" of the Overhill Cherokees in the present Tennessee, portrait 1762. His name in the language of the Ani Yunwiya ("Cherokee"): Ku na gadoga (Turkey is Standing), loosely translated "The Standing Turkey," and variously Anglicized (by the English, not the Cherokees) as Conocotocko, etc. Another color reproduction: initial issue (Winter 1976) of the Journal of Cherokee Studies. I've seen him called Conocotockoin the South Carolina Gazette, would have to consult my notes for exact date. The spelling Ku na gadoga and translation come from Duane King, Editor, Journal of Cherokee Studies. Information from Wes White, May 5th, 1981.

Ostenaco was commonly known as Outacity (Ottassite, Otacite) which was probably a title. [Source: Forman, Carolyn. Indians Abroad. University of Oklahoma Press, 1943. page 65 ff.
