notes: 
The Shawanoes or Shawnee lived on the Wabash, Scioto, and Ohio rivers. They surrendered most of their land in Ohio with the Treaty of Greenville of 1794 and moved west to Indiana. General Victor Collot fought under Rochambeau during the Revolution and later became governor of Guadeloupe. In 1796 he returned to North America to survey the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. His work had been printed before his death in 1805, but was suppressed for political reasons and not sold until 1826. The engraver is probably Jean Baptiste Pierre Tardieu, 1746-1816.
