Title: Letter from James H. Embry to French Tipton

Description: This letter demonstrates the negative ideologies concerning Native Americans during the 19th century. Embry describes a statue that was in Capitol Rotunda. The description is paraphrased by Embry. It is from a book titled Washington Guide, written by William Elliott. Embry comments the statue has Daniel Boone standing over two dead Natives Americans with bullet wounds. This is a fascinating letter that captures many aspects of 19th Century elite interests.
