During his lifetime, he did much to promote good feelings between the settlers and his people. <br /><br />Note: In 1926, his remains were moved to their final place of rest at the foot of a large monument dedicated to him in Menominee Park. Over the remains of the old chief, was placed a granite slab bearing the inscription, "Chief Oshkosh, 1795-1858. A man of peace beloved by all".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33487099.post-43096489434930583572010-11-02T19:40:44.468-05:002010-11-02T19:40:44.468-05:00If your 21st Birthday is Nov. 7th what the heck ar...If your 21st Birthday is Nov. 7th what the heck are you doing at a chess tournament? :)JBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33487099.post-39060445743326662602010-11-02T15:09:32.610-05:002010-11-02T15:09:32.610-05:00Do the junior or the vets get more players.
