    1. [WILINCOL-L] A PROMINENT NORTH WOODS CHARACTER. Indian Pete 1907 Tomahawk
    2. A PROMINENT NORTH WOODS CHARACTER. One of the best known and most dignified old Indians on the Wisconsin River was Indian Pete, who died about two years ago, aged ninety-four. He has traveled every Indian trail along the Wisconsin River, and for the past fifty years has been a familiar character in the towns and lumber camps all through the upper valley. He seemed to command the universal respect of the Whites, and for many years was a privileged character on the trains and at the Mitchell hotel at Tomahawk. Pete was always proud of being a Chippewa, and seemed confident that his tribe were the only real good Indians in the pine woods.
