Tsholocha, a Cherokee Man
Description
Reaching Natchez again on or before January 28, Bodmer decided to stop here a few days. Maximilian later wrote that Bodmer stayed at Natchez eight days and saw there many Choctaw Indians. He also mentioned that Bodmer made a drawing of "an old Cherokee, who didn't want this business at first, but later complied immediately when sketches had been shown to him." This study of a Cherokee named Tsholocha, possibly the one the Prince mentioned, was made at Natchez on January 29.
