While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
It is not true that Colonel Stambough gave his name to the chief as his father bore it before him,
who, though not a born chief, exerted great influence over the tribe and
was regarded as such. His son Kaush Kau No Naive or the "Grizzy Bear"
served under Tomah in the war of 1812 and after the death of Tomah in 1817
was with Josette Carron chosen orator of the nation. He served under
Colonel Stambough against the Foxes and Sacs in 1832 and died in 1834,
aged fifty-two years. About 1830 he was with Colonel Stambough when he
went with the Menomonee to Washington to make a better treaty for lands
and annuities. While there it is reported of him that viewing the historic
paintings in the rotunda of the capitol, he pointed to the illustration of
the landing of the Pilgrims and said: "There Injun give white man corn,"
then to the Penn treaty, "There Injuns give um land," then to Pocahontas
saving the life of Captain Smith, "There Injun give um life," then to a
picture of Daniel Boone with his foot on the neck of a savage and plunging
his knife into another, and said, "There white man kill Injun." He was a
savage of great personal dignity. His other name was "The Great Packer."
After his death he was succeeded by his son, Wau Pa Men or "the Corn," who
was succeeded by his brother, another son of "Grizzly Bear," Ok ke ne bo
way or "The Standing Land," who was born in 1820.
