Swago, was an eccentric Pottawattamie 
Indian who was an object of special 
notice when he came to the trading 
House of Ewing & Walker & Co., in 
Logansport.  which was a circumstance 
of common occurrence. But poor 
Swa-go [Swago] knew nothing of the ecinom

were often assumed to cover 
up the hidden and nefarious object 
of obtaining whisky. He seldom had a mus-gui. 
He was often the agent of others, for of his own Swago had a passionate fondness 
for liquor peculiar to the red race.

  This Indian was a sort of

great orator. He was a devoted 
follower of him. The orator seemed 
to hold a magnetic influence over 
subordinates. There was between them seemingly 
a fixed relationship suggesting the mind that of knight and 
squire, as of the chivalric and medieval times.

     Knas. waw kay [Knaswawkay or  Naswawkay] - but seldom 
indulged in the “fire – water” himself, but

corn-si tosh - was within his grasp.
