Transactions Of The Buffalo Historical Society 1885 Vol 3 Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Transactions of the Buffalo Historical Society, 1885, Vol. 3 About four miles from the City of Buffalo, _on What was the Buffalo Creek Reservation, may be found the old Indian burial ground. This little spot, consecrated as the last resting-place of many of the chiefs and head men of the Senecas, occupied the site of an ancient Indian fort. In 1842 the' line of the intrenchments could be distinctly traced, especially on the west and south. A little to the north of the principal entrance was the grave of the celebrated chief, Red Jacket, so long the faithful friend and protector of his people against encroachments of the whites, and still, as we might imagine, the watchful sentinel, solemnly guarding this little spot, where so many of his chosen friends recline around him, from the desecrating touch of the race whom he had' so much reason to fear and hate.
