Excerpt from Celebration at Tammany Hall

The Committee room of the Society was decorated with a full suit of Indian dress and fighting equipments, that had been recently collected and presented by Sachem Oakey Hall. They were appropriately hung and descriptively labelled in a fine walnut case, which was the gift of Andrew J. Garvey, Esq., one of the enthusiastic Braves.

After half an hour had been spent in the Committee room by several hundred Brothers of Columbian Order - some admiring and chatting over the paraphernalia, as splendid as ever the original Pennsylvania warriors of the Tammany tribe wore, and others receiving the appropriate decorations - Grand Sachem Tweed grasped his calumet and tomahawk, and marshalled the Sachems and Braves into procession for the Grand Hall.

Entering this, the spectacle presented was such as to call forth spontaneous approval. Every conceivable kind of patriotic decoration abounded.
