content: Note, though the card says 1836, the accession file lists the date, presumably the collection date, as 1837, and Townsend did not graduate from West Point until 1837, seeming to confirm the 1837 date. Also, this is transcribed in the records as the knife of Chief Powas Tustenuchee. Tustenuchee is more commonly spelled Tustenuggee (Tustenuggee, a war title, translated as "Warrior" or "Grand Chief of War," came to be used sometimes as a surname).
