notes:
Text notes that the author had these items "brought by the navigators from this side of North America" and engraved. The tomahawk is from Nootka Sound and is made of wood, stone, human scalp, and human and other teeth. It is called a Taaweesh or Tsuskeah. Nootka Sound is on the west coast of Vancouver Island, present-day British Columbia. Thomas Pennant was a Welsh naturalist and antiquary. Peter Mazell was a British engraver of flowers and animals.
