The grave of Blackbird is well known to all travellers. In sketching the
character of that chief I have adhered strictly to the account given of him in
Long's First Expedition, where a very interesting history is given of him and
his people. I have added a few particulars from other sources equally authentic.
The pathetic story of Menae, is also founded on fact. The real story is
in the work above quoted.
