Klahowya, tillikums lalang. I am moving along on Shaw for the Web,
and wondering who the picture on the cover is of.* Marv told me he
is a Nootka chief, but I am afraid I don't have any further ID. The
Seattle photographer dated the picture 1904. If you might know and
have a moment to take a look, I have uploaded the picture to:

I've gotten the OCR of Shaw cleaned up (whew) and will give it a
preliminary proofing before turning it over to my proofreading
volunteers. It's around 120 pages, so maybe we can divvy it up 40
apiece?
Hyas mashie!

*I am reminded of Winston Churchill's note to the editor who took out
all of his dangling participles: "This is the sort of thing up with
which I shall not put."
