In the July number of the Archaeological
and Historical
Quarterly for the year 1900 I gave some
account of the history
of the monuments that have been erected
by white men to com-
memorate the memories of noted men of
the Indian or Red
Race. At that time I had knowledge of
but four of such mon-
uments. First, in order of time, was
that erected to Chief Keokuk,
at Keokuk, Iowa. The next was that of
Leatherlips, near Co-
lumbus, Ohio. The third, was that of Red
Jacket, at Buffalo,
New York; and the fourth, was that of
Chief Cornstalk, at Point
Pleasant, West Virginia.
Soon after that article was published, I
learned of three
monuments which had been omitted and
more recently of one
that is proposed and almost surely will
be erected. The omitted
ones were that of Chiefs Uncas and
Miantonomoh at and near
the town of Norwich, State of
Connecticut, and that of Chief
Sealth (Seattle) at Fort Madison on
Puget Sound, near the
town of Seattle, in the State of
Washington.
The proposed monument is that for
Leopold and Simon Po-
Kagon, father and son, who were the last
and best known chiefs
of the Pottawattamie tribe. Simon died
at Allegan, in the state
