1796 Chief Blue Jacket and his brother or half-brother, Red Pole, traveld east to Philadelphia where they met with President Washington Dec. 2, 1796. A life-size wax sculpture of the two men was made and stood in the Charles Wilson Peale Museum until they were later destroyed in a fire. Somewhere the writer read, or heard, an unconfirmed story that President Washington once bowed as he passed the sculpture. Concluding their visit to Philadelphia where they were "wined and dined," enroute home Red Pole (Mio-Qua-Goo-Na-Gaw) became sick and died of pneumonia at Pittsburgh January 28, 1798. He was buried there with full military honors. (See "Native Americans at the Greene Ville Peace Treaty, 1795" by the the knowledgeable historian, Mrs. Toni Seiler, curator of the Garst Museum at Greenville, Ohio.
