James Clark Strong

James Clark Strong (May 26, 1826–1915) was a Union Army officer during the American Civil War and a prominent New York attorney in the post-war period.

[5] In a well-published letter, Strong urged his fellow veterans to support Grant's re-election in the 1872 United States presidential election.

"[3] Strong omits any discussion of his law practice in his autobiography, jumping from his return to Buffalo on June 30, 1866—to "resume[] the duties of civic life"—to the fall of 1892 when he "went abroad and lectured through England on the North American Indian," on the same page.

[9]Strong represented the Cayuga people residing in Canada in a claim against New York state for a proportion of treaty annuities, which had not been paid since the 1809.

[1] Strong represented the Seneca Nation of Indians in an ejectment suit against Harrison Christy, one of the successors in title to the Phelps and Gorham Purchase, challenging the conveyance in violation of the Nonintercourse Act.
