Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Birth-Place of Sa-Go-Ye-Wat-Ha, or the Indian Red Jacket: The Great Orator of the Senecas, With a Few Incidents of His Life During the month of May, 1879, a delegation of the Waterloo Library and Historical Society, comprising Col. H. F. Gustin, F. H. Furniss and C. M. Hubbard, under the leadership of Gen. John S. Clark, went over the ground in Seneca County, covering the march of Sullivan's army in 1779. The result of the investigation was written out by C. M. Hubbard. In relation to the birth-place of Red Jacket in connection with their visit to Canoga, which Morgan in his "League of the Iroquois" gives the Indian name of Ga-no-geh, and the signification being "oil floating on the water," the following was recorded: "One of the most important results of our investigations at this point will be found in the establishment of the birth-place of Red Jacket, the most eloquent orator among the Indians. His birth-place has been quite as much a matter of dispute as that of the Grecian poet, to whose name as many as seven cities laid claim. Seneca county has always marked the spot where he was born near the present site of Canoga, but the claim has been disputed by the counties of Ontario, Steuben and Schuyler - the respective points designated being the Seneca Castle, (near Geneva, ) Hammondsport and Havana."
