An
Account of Sa-Go-Ye-Wat-Ha or Red Jacket and his People, 1750-1830
The "Life and Times of Red Jacket" by Colonel William L. Stone,
has been before the public for many years. The industry and
ability of the author have made it a work of great value, and his
extensive researches have left but little room for anything new to
be said, by one coming after him. Yet the fact need not be
concealed that many, who were intimately acquainted with Red
Jacket, were disappointed when they came to read his biography. If
it had been prepared under the direct influence and
superintendence of Thayendanegea, or Brant, it could not have
reflected more truly the animus of that distinguished character.
Red Jacket in his day was the subject, at different times of much
angry feeling, and jealousy. The author has not taken pains to
embalm it, in these memorials of the great orator of the Senecas.
Much that was the subject of criticism during his life, admits of
a more charitable construction, and the grave should become the
receptacle of all human resentments.
