Ephemera – visitors book a fine guest book produced in the style of the arts and crafts movement and with numerous entries from the early 1920s to the 1970s. Entries include the signatures of Big Chief White Horse Eagle who visited the house in 1930 when he was 108 years old and his queen Wa-The-Na as well as a fine sketch of African birds by the explorer and naturalist Capt C W R Knight. The signature of White Horse Eagle and his Queen are rare and sought after mainly because he toured the world claiming to be an ancient chief of the Osage Tribe – meeting heads of state and leading celebrities as a result. He met Hindenburg for example on a sensational tour of Germany in 1929 – having claimed to have similarly met Bismark on a visit in 1887. The problem with the Big Chief however was that he was a total fraud – his supposedly native people pointed out that he couldn’t speak a word of their language and knew nothing of their culture. Moreover he was African-American in origin and the only tribal god he subscribed to was alcohol ! Nevertheless his signature is rare and sought after by collectors of the more colourful American characters. This book is also of great interest in its style – very much reminiscent of William Morris and the arts and crafts movement.
