History

Donor received it from his aunt Jean Cruchee who lived in Toronto (no connection to Windsor). It had always been in her apartment for as long as donor can remember. Aunt is now dead, no family, she may have had Tecumseh too but may have been broken. (Hamilton MacCarthy made a matching pair of terra cotta busts of General Isaac Brock and Chief Tecumseh in 1896.)
