Légende

Great Native Procession, in New York, 1844. Demonstration of riders with banners - one decorated with feathers reads: 'We have ruled and will again!'. In the background a model ship explodes. '...a procession of the Native American Party...six or eight men attired fantastically as Indian warriors, all mounted. Then came their banners and some flags, which were somewhat remarkable...The procession was orderly and decorous in their march; but when the procession had reached Second-street, near avenue A, and the gunner was in the act of firing a salute from the Miniature Ship, carried among the banners, &c., the powder-magazine exploded, carried away a large piece out of the side of the vessel, and shattered several windows in the vicinity. We regret to learn that two or three boys were severely hurt by the catastrophe'. From "Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol V.
