Hi,
I'm a lurker, not an academic, but just a Seattle special needs educator.
I know that US Grant is on the U$ 50 note. According to Jim Holton (Chinook Jargon from the Wawa Press in San Leandro Press, Calif.) he was a CJ speaker based on his antebellum experiences in the PNW. I'm sure you're familiar with the book and the amusing story regarding a shipment of rum.
Sacagewea appears on a U$ coin, one of our half-hearted attempts to wean US off the paper note; was she also a CJ speaker?
