It was signed by John McNeil, Pierre Menard, and Caleb Atwater for the United States; it was also signed by more than forty Winnebago individuals (all signing with their mark), and more than thirty Indian agents and officers of the United States Army, including then Lieutenant Colonel Zachary Taylor. All signatures appear on the verso, along with a small wax seal. Accompanied with a volume titled "Personnel of the Winnebago (o-chun-gra-Large Fish) Treaty of 1829." The manuscript, bound in deerskin and completed after 1884, contains biographies of the Winnebago and American signatories and attesters of the Third Treaty of Prairie Du Chien and an account of the "friendly council" between "Nau-Kaw" Winnebago Chief, in company with fifteen other Chiefs and Warriors of that Nation and President John Quincy Adams, on December 2, 1828.
