Photograph of Tomochichi's Grave Marker in Savannah, Georgia. A large granite boulder with a decorative copper plate was installed in Savannah's Wright Square, southeast of the original grave marker, on April 21, 1899. The plate is inscribed to "the mico of the Yamacraws, the companion of Oglethorpe, and the ally of the colony of Georgia."
As the principal mediator between the native population and the new English settlers during the first years of settlement, Tomochichi contributed much to the establishment of peaceful relations between the two groups and to the ultimate success of Georgia. - Metadata URL:
