content: FROM CARD: "FOUND IN 1849." [1849 date is uncertain, see information below.]

content: From old handwritten tag with the artifact: "A Seminole war plume picked up on Dade's Battleground by the late Colonel Alex R. Thompson, US Army, Florida. War Department, Rec'd Feb. 20th, 1845." Colonel Thompson is presumably Lt. Col. Alexander R. Thompson (d. Dec. 25, 1837, at the Battle of Okeechobee). Dade's Battleground refers to the site of the Dade Battle, the ambush of Maj. Francis L. Dade and troops on Dec. 28, 1835, the start of the Second Seminole War.

content: On p. 23 of National Institute for the Promotion of Science, Washington, D.C. A Popular Catalogue of the Extraordinary Curiosities In the National Institute, Arranged In the Building Belonging to the Patent Office. Washington: A. Hunter, 1855, this object is described: "Seminole war-plume, picked up on Dade's battle-ground by Col. Alexander Thompson. ..."

content: Notes provided by Amy Giroux, researcher from the University of Central Florida by email on June 9, 2025 to Matt Sanger (NMNH, Repatriation) The cataloging questions the date of 1845 as Thompson was dead by then. I mentioned to you and Gwyn that Thompson likely picked up those feathers when he was on that battlefield in 1837. Thompson was in the 6th Infantry Regiment and after they arrived in Florida, they spent time at the Dade battlefield. In a letter from Joseph Swearingen to his sister, Elizabeth, he says: We arrived at Tampa Bay on the 5th of last month [which would have been January 5, 1837], took up our line of march to join General Jesup. We joined the army where Major Dade was defeated. We remained several days making our arrangements to take the field and try to bring the difficulty to a close in this quarter. So, by this I know that Thompson could indeed have picked up those feathers at the Dade site. If they had been dropped during the Dade battle, they would have lain on the ground for a little over a year, but they also could have been dropped at a later date by a passing Seminole as the battlefield was on the Fort King Road. I just found it interesting that Thompson preserved them and that they eventually made it to the Smithsonian. In looking at my records I think I know how. Thompson's widow, Mary Waldron Nexsen Thompson, spent decades trying to get the government to pay her what she felt was due her from Thompson's 27-year career. She was in Washington very often between 1839 and 1858 to try to get Congress to pay her. Among all the Congressional items, she had a private law passed on 1 March 1845 about auditing the accounts (28th Congress, 6 Stat 94), so it is quite possible that she gave those feathers to the War Department two weeks prior. She had her husband's body exhumed from his battlefield grave and shipped to New York for burial at West Point in 1838. She had his trunks and possessions in Florida returned to her. In her will for example, she bequeathed to a grandnephew Alexander's belt, pistol, war sword, undress cap, and gloves, “all bearing the sad marks of his devotion to his country.” I can see her distributing other items of significance from his possessions. She had traveled to every post Alexander was sent to except for Florida. Here's the citation for the correspondence: Letter J.V. Swearingen to Elizabeth Swearingen, 7 February 1837, Joseph Van Swearingen Papers, George A. Smathers Libraries, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida. This is a direct link to that letter: https://ufdc.ufl.edu/AA00021536/00001/images/107

content: The object being tracked with this number is labeled with incorrect number 54273. A note with the object says that in 1974, someone guessed that it was actually E8658B, since it so closely resembles E8658C. Since the description on the card merely says "otter skin," there is no conclusive proof that this is the correct number.

Each mitten has a band of caribou hide, red colouring and skin tags around the cuff. More information here: http://www.inuvialuitlivinghistory.ca/item_types/41: Mittens with separate thumbs were used for keeping the hands warm in winter. They usually have the hair on the outside at the back of the mitten, which can be held against one's face to keep it warm. The mittens usually are quite short, as the fur trim on the sleeves of parkas protected the exposed wrist.

This dance image or puppet looks to be whittled noncommittally. It is unfinished, probably produced for tourists. It is made from alder wood. Puppets are very sacred and have power in them that can make you behave a certain way. This object was viewed alongside E073743-0.

content: "Late 19th century. Horsehair. The shape of this double-tier cap is similar to that of the official hat with a high dome, samo i:HJH (cat. no. 66), but the gauze-like loose weaving of the cap is distinctive. It is an informal cap worn indoors by aristocrats. It is worn over a headband (manggeon, cat. no. 53) or under a black horsehair hat (gat cat. no. 67) (Kiln, 1988b: 492). As Jenings observes (1904: 162), "The Korean is never hatless, when in the house his head is covered with a gauze skull-cap (ibid: 160, figure 18), which is considered en deshabille, only intimate friends seeing it worn, and to appear with it on the street would be the height of impropriety." Bernadou Field Notes 8 "... Worn by all officers in the government service, and by those who have been in service. Also allowed as a distinction to those who have passed the first grade in the literary and military examinations. This cap is worn when at home or in-doors by all officers, a few of the lower grades of attendants at the 'ya-ma's' [yamens; amuns] or official homes, such as upper policemen, being alone excepted." Collected in Seoul. Ref: Hough Korean Catalog pi. XIX, middle fig. 3; Bernadou Field Notes 8" [from: "An Ethnography of the Hermit Kingdom: The J.B. Bernadou Korean Collection 1884-1885", Chang-su Cho Houchins, 2004, number 70]

content: Doll resembles a "Skookum doll"? A Skookum doll was a Native American themed doll, sold as a souvenir item in the 20th century; they were not made by Native Americans. They were designed and created by Mary Dwyer McAboy (1876-1961), who was from Missoula, Montana, and learned to carve apple head dolls as a child from her mother. She filed two applications for patents for a doll or toy figure on November 29, 1913. The patents were granted on February 17, 1914. Her early dolls used dried apples for heads, but demand grew so rapidly that she moved to mass production techniques within a year. The dolls became so popular that Mary McAboy partnered with H.H. Tammen & Co. of Denver, Colorado in 1920 to keep up with the demand. She stayed on and was the head of the Skookum Assembly Division. McAboy supervised production of the dolls until she retired in 1952.
