Clarke, Peter Dooyentate. Origin and traditional history of the Wyandotts, and sketches of other Indian tribes of North America : true traditional stories of Tecumseh and his league, in the years 1811 and 1812. - An excerpt from pg. 125: “In October, 1836, he [F.B. Head] made his appearance at Amherstburg; rode on horseback part of the time during his western tour. He wore dark pants, light vest, blue swallow-tail coat, with gilt buttons, and a white hat. In stature, he was about five feet nine inches, and of a rigid physiognomy — every body noticed his white hat. His Excellency put up at a first-class “Coffee House,” kept by Arwison. It was the only house of entertainment in Amherstburg convenient, at this time, for Governors and officers of the Government to sojourn at; and after resting himself a day or so, he sent word to the Wyandott Chiefs and warriors to come to his quarters. After the usual greeting and shaking of hands, the Governor shewed the Wyandotts his plan of the surrender of a portion of their Reserve, already mapped out on paper for them to sign. This unusual mode of dealing with Indians on such an important matter, took the Wyandotts aback some; they looked at one another — looked at the Governor — in mute astonishment —all looked at one another.”
