It is "Dictionary of American Portraits" by Cirker & Hayward - published 1967 by Dover Publications of New York. The book is 756 pages. The book contains "4045 pictures of important Americans from earliest times to the beginning of the 20th century." The Ross portraits included are of the following people: Alexander Ross - 1783-1836 - Scottish-Canadian pioneer in Oregon. Charlie Ross - b. ca. 1870 - kidnapped child, abducted in 1874 and never returned. Edmund Gibson Ross - 1826 - 1907 - U.S. Senator, journalist; voted for acquittal in Johnson impeachment trial. George Ross - 1730 - 1779 - Lawyer, Jurist, signer of Declaration of Independence. Sir John Ross - 1777-1856 - Scottish artic explorer, sought Northwest Passage. John Ross - 1790-1866 - Cherokee Indian Chief. Indian name Cooweescoowe or Kooweskowe. If your public library doesn't have this book you might ask them to obtain it for you via interlibrary loan. --------------375E748F0472DC3AE32BBE55--
