Not the right time of year, but all the discussion about "Redskins" made me think of this. Beginning in 1907 and continuing at least into my youth, at some point in the Fall the Sunday Chicago Tribune would publish these on the front page. The cartoonist was a nationally famous Tribune cartoonist, John T. McCutcheon.
The story, from 1907 — if this is difficult to read (it will enlarge if clicked upon), it is also here
When a young lad I would climb upon my Fathers lap each fall when the Chicago Tribune would print "Injun Summer"as my dad would read it to me.That is one of my fondest memories of my Father and my youth. As I am eighty now and my Father and my youth both gone , I still smile each fall as I read the above. Thank you Chicago Trubune
