Thayendanegea (Joseph Brant) (1743 - 1807) was a Mohawk military and political leader, known for his role as a British ally during the American Revolutionary War. Born in the Ohio Valley and educated by missionaries, Brant became a prominent figure among the Mohawk people, advocating for their rights and lands. He led Mohawk and other Iroquois warriors in battle, most notably at Oriskany and Wyoming. Post-war, he played a crucial role in negotiating treaties to protect Iroquois interests and secured land in Canada for his people. In this article F. W. Hodge examines various portraits of Thayendanegea (Joseph Brant) by George Romney, A Dick, Ezra Ames, and other unknown artists, noting their significance, accuracy and history.
