Sequoyah, also known as George Gist. A member of the Cherokee Nation, he was the inventor of the Cherokee syllabary, (a set of written symbols, each of which represents a syllable, used to write a given language). This image was copied from a lithograph in McKenney and Hall’s, “Indian Tribes of North America,” 1836-44 and subsequent editions. The source for the lithograph is thought to be an original painting by Charles Bird King, Washington, D.C. 1828. Scan courtesy of Tennessee State Library and Archives. Sequoyah Family Files
