Synopsis
Excerpt from The War Chief of the Six Nations: A Chronicle of Joseph Brant
A group of huntsmen were camping on the Ohio river. The foliage swayed in the night wind, and the argent light of the moon ran in fleeting bars through the dim recesses of the forest. From the ground arose a ruddier glare. High and dry, fires had been built and the flames were darting and curvetting among the trees. In the weird light the hunters were clustered about in squads, silently stripping their prey or preparing their weapons for the morrow's chase. In the background were the women, moving here and there in the dancing shadows. One was bending low over a newborn infant, and as she uttered his name in the stillness of the evening it blended with the music of the tree-tops.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This biography follows the life of Joseph Brant (Thayendanegea), a Mohawk war chief who fought for the British during the American Revolution.
