Thayendanegea, Joseph Brant, Mohawk Indian Chief

Image taken from page 165 of "The Indian Miscellany; containing papers on the history, antiquities, arts, languages, religions, traditions and superstitions of the American aborigines" by W. W. Beach, 1877. Thayendanegea or Joseph Brant (March 1743 - November 24, 1807) was a Mohawk military and political leader. He met many of the most significant Anglo-American people of the age, including George Washington and King George III. While not born into a hereditary leadership role within the Iroquois League, Brant rose to prominence due to his education, abilities and his connections to British officials. During the American Revolutionary War, Brant led Mohawk and colonial Loyalists against the rebels in a bitter partisan war on the New York frontier. He was accused by the Americans of committing atrocities and given the name "Monster Brant", but the charges were later found to be false. After the war, he relocated with most of his people to Canada to the Six Nations Reserve, where he remained a prominent leader.
