Chief Sitting Bull (1831-1890) of the Sioux Indians spent his life working for the right of his people to own and control their land. He was shot by the Indian police on a questionable charge of resisting arrest.
George Armstrong Custer (1839-1876) was the youngest general in the US Army. He first saw action in the Civil War and was later stationed in the Dakota Territory during the gold rush on Sioux Land.

The character was John Barleycorn, a figure that symbolized whiskey. After it\'s success, character jugs were modeled after famous historical and fictional people, (as well as generic trades and professions) a trend that continues today. The first non-fiction character was designed by Royal Doulton\'s Harry Fenton in the likeness of John Peel, a British Master of Foxhounds in the early 1800s. Royal Doulton\'s production in Toby Jugs seized in 2011, making them much more sought after among collectors.\"We take pride in everything we sell and pack all of our items to the best of our abilities to ensure safe arrival.
