The Tammanies or Tammany Societies were named for the Delaware chief Tamanend or Tammany revered for his wisdom. During the American Revolutionary War admiring colonists dubbed him St. Tammany, the Patron Saint of America. ref cite book chapter America s Patron Saint first Jack last Weatherford title Native Roots How the Indians Enriched America location New York publisher Fawcett Columbine year 1991 isbn 0517574853 ref Tammanies are most well known today for New York City s Tammany Hall also popularly known as the Great Wigwam but that society was not limited to New York. Indeed, there were Tammany Societies throughout the colonies, and later, the young country, reflecting a great popular interest in frontier and Indian life, customs and language. The Smithsonian s highly respected Handbook of Indians North of Mexico has this to say about the Tammanies ...it appears that the Philadelphia society, which was probably the first bearing the name, and is claimed as the original of the Improved Order of Red Men Red Men secret order , was organized May 1, 1772, under the title of Sons of King Tammany, with strongly Loyalist tendency. It is probable that the Saint Tammany society was a later organization of Revolutionary sympathizers opposed to the kingly idea. Saint Tammany parish, La., preserves the memory. The practice of organizing American political and military societies on an Indian basis dates back to the French and Indian war, and was especially in favor among the soldiers of the Revolutionary army, most of whom were frontiersmen more or less familiar with Indian life and custom. . . The society occasionally at first known as the Columbian Order took an Indian title and formulated for itself a ritual based upon supposedly Indian custom. Thus, the name chosen was that of the traditional Delaware chief the meeting place was called the wigwam there were 13 tribes or branches corresponding to the 13 original states, the New York parent organization being the Eagle Tribe ... more details
File Treaty of Penn with Indians by Benjamin West.jpg thumb 300px The Treaty of Penn with the Indians The Treaty of Penn with the Indians , sometimes known as Penn s Treaty with the Indians at Shackamaxon or more simply Penn s Treaty with the Indians , is an oil painting by Benjamin West , completed in 1771 2. The painting depicts William Penn entering into peace treaty in 1683 with a chief of the Delaware Leni Lenape Lenape Turtle Clan named Tamanend later referred to by the Dutch as Tammany or Saint Tammany under the shade of an elm tree near the village of Shackamaxon now Kensington in Pennsylvania . This peace between the Lenape Turtle Clan and Penn s successors would endure almost a century, until 1782. It was remarked upon by Voltaire , who called it ... the only treaty never sworn to and never broken. Painting The painting was commissioned by Thomas Penn William Penn s son in 1770 or 1771 and completed in 1771 2. West was a local artist who was born in Springfield, Pennsylvania and grew up in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania . Like Penn, West was born into a Quaker family but turned to the Church of England . He studied in Philadelphia but developed as a painter of historic subjects in London, where he was the second president of the Royal Academy of Arts . His reputation for history painting was established in the early 1770s with his painting of The Death of General Wolfe . For the image of William Penn, West copied a relief portrait made from memory by Silvanius Bevan several years after Penn s death. West had no models for the Indian subjects, so used sketches of sculptures, adding Indian artefacts, such as beaded moccasins, arm bands, and bags, and clay pipes. The crowd is gathered around a white cloth which draws the eye at the centre of the composition, like a campfire or the Christ child at the centre of a nativity scene. The painting presents an idealised picture of interaction between the Indians and the Europeans, glossing over recent difficulties such as ... more details
