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.
