Info from Pare Bowlegs, who sent me this image: "Copper engraving called "An American Prince", which was done in 1722 from J. Kanold and J. Kundman. There were two Creek men (as far as I know of) that were taken to England by Capt. John Pight, who participated in the Yamasee War. It's in Christian F. Feest's book, The Cultures of Native North Americans"
