Satterlee, A. P. Kannenberg Collection, Date: 1912. I received this pipe from John V. Satterlee who secured it for me from the family of Honest John Perrot of historical fame. He was judge of the Menominee Indian Court at Keshena for a very long time and there earned for himself the name of Honest John on account of his square dealings with the Indians."
