"The Cornplanter Memorial" by James Ross Snowden is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work provides a detailed sketch of Gy-ant-wa-chia, known as Cornplanter, a prominent chief of the Seneca nation and the Six Nations of Indians. The book commemorates Cornplanter's life and his significant contributions to maintaining peace between Native Americans and European settlers, as well as detailing the establishment of a monument in his honor. The opening of the memorial sets the historical context for the dedication of the monument erected for Cornplanter at Jennesadaga, emphasizing the importance of recognizing his contributions after the Revolutionary War. It begins with an account of the legislative actions taken by the Pennsylvania Legislature for the erection and dedication of this monument, alongside a report on the ceremonies attended by both Native Americans and citizens. It highlights the involvement of prominent figures, including Samuel P. Johnson, and reflects on the rich narrative surrounding Cornplanter’s life, his role as a leader, and the enduring legacy he left within his community and the broader historical framework.
