Tosawi
Tosawi , or Toshaway or Toshua , (in French: “Money Pin”) was a chief of the Comanches Penateka in the Années 1850 with 1870. With other chiefs, it launched many raids against the colonists of the south-west of the the United States in the Années 1860. When in 1867, the US Army launched a reprisal campaign, Tosawi was one of the first comanches chiefs to be gone to the American forces to Fort Cobb, in the Indian Territory. When it was presented to the general Philip Sheridan, it declared to him in approximate English: Tosawi, good Indian ( Tosawi, good indian ), Sheridan retorted while saying: Only the good Indians whom I ever saw had died ( The only good Indians I ever saw were dead. ). Tosawi as of other Indian chiefs remained with Washington D.C, in 1872, in order to negotiate a peace treaty there. Some photographs of Tosawi are available today thanks to the collection of George A. Addison.
