Red Jacket the Seneca figure in history gains and loses favor
In this 1932 Western Newspaper Union piece, Editha L. Watson explores Red Jacket’s complex career. He opposed some white policies but allied with the British during the Revolution, wore a red coat as a sign of eloquence, led retreats, and faced accusations from chiefs.
