This lithographic portrait of Sequoyah, who was credited with inventing the Cherokee alphabet, was created as part of the McKenney & Hall "History of the Indian Tribes of North America." Sequoyah is shown wearing a blue coat with a red and white headscarf and a peace medal hanging around his neck. He points to a document showing the Cherokee alphabet and is smoking a pipe.
