Chief Red Jacket’s Silver Indian Peace Medal

Chief Red Jacket’s Medal

Chief Red Jacket’s medal is one of the few large Silver Indian Peace Medals with an uninterrupted pedigree. Although proud of his Peace Medal, Red Jacket pawned it off once while he was drunk. A benefactor, recognizing the medal and its importance, redeemed it and returned it to Red Jacket. The medal still exists today and was used to illustrate both the Belden and Prucha works.
