"An Account of Sa-Go-Ye-Wat-Ha, or Red Jacket, and His People, 1750-1830" by John N. Hubbard is a historical account written during the late 19th century. The work delves into the life and times of Red Jacket, an influential Seneca orator, focusing on his legacy and the struggles of his people amidst the encroachment of settlers and the forces shaping their destinies. The narrative not only illuminates the personal journey of Red Jacket but also paints a broader picture of the cultural and political dynamics of Native American tribes during this turbulent period in American history. The opening of the book introduces the central figure, Red Jacket, highlighting his remarkable oratory skills and the significance of his name in Native American history. It discusses the admiration he garnered despite originating from an obscure background, positioning him as a symbol of the Seneca people's resistance and adaptation during times of conflict and change. The text emphasizes the rich cultural heritage of the Iroquois, the competitive environment of their inter-tribal councils, and the eloquence inherent in their traditions, setting the stage for understanding Red Jacket's pivotal role in defending his people's rights and heritage against the pressures from both colonial and governmental forces.
