Original – Holata Micco ("Alligator Chief"), known by whites as Chief Billy Bowlegs or Billy Bolek was an important leader of the Seminoles in Florida during the Second Seminole War and was the remaining Seminole's most prominent chief during the Third Seminole War, when he led the Seminoles' last major resistance against the United States government. With the possibilities of military victory dwindling and facing starvation, he finally agreed to relocate with his people to Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma) in 1858.

Reason: Quite a nice lithograph, and from near enough the time that the colour is likely to be pretty accurate, which is nice. Thanks to Charles J. Sharp for helping fix a colour profile bug or something that was causing issues.
