Caption on back of photograph reads: The part played in the Civil War by American Indians representing both eastern and southern tribes would require a book in itself. With the patriotism that has been characteristic of our race, our people have flung themselves into the wars unselfishly, receiving so little in return. This is an interesting photo of a dashing Montauk Indian Civil War veteran, who was a member of the Eastville Band of the Sag Harbor Montauks. The long hair and the Kentucky Colonel type of moustache and goatee give Warren Cuffee a look of distinction and as someone remarked, "He looks like an Indian Buffalo Bill!" The Cuffee's are buried in the old cemetery in Sag Harbor and some in Northwest Woods in East Hampton township, at the old site of the Cuffee homestead.
