PLATE 17 



Monument to Red Jacket in Buffalo N. Y., unveiled June 22, 1891. Five 

 Seneca chiefs were reinterred with him in 1884 and part of the headstones 

 appear. Nine other Senecas were placed with them, but the names of these 

 were unknown. There were imposing ceremonies under the auspices of the 

 Buffalo Historical Society. In 1891 the monument was completed and un- 

 veiled on Forest Lawn, the Hon. David F. Day, making the oration. Red 

 Jacket died in 1830, and was supposed to be 78 years old. His earlier and 

 later names appear on the pedestal.
