IMAGE INFORMATION
This is a staged photograph, with a commercially made canvas tent, and a number of curios (including a mounted moosehead and a non-Mi'kmaq tomahawk. The caption reads, "Peter Gloade and Family, said to be Chief, and last Micmac family living in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia." This is not accurate. It is Jeremiah Bartlett Alexis, alias Jerry Lonecloud; with his wife Elizabeth Paul and his children. Lonecloud and his family often travelled around Nova Scotia, putting on Wild West Medicine Shows. He gave copies of this same postcard to many friends in Liscomb Mills, where he had lived for 20 years. [Thanks to Ruth Legge, Liscomb, N.S., for bringing this to our attention.]
