Chapter 17

Brant and his family. Samuel G. Drake's _Biography and History of the Indians of North America from its First Discovery_ has one chapter (pp. 577-93) given exclusively to Brant. The chapter in the same work dealing with Red Jacket will also be found of interest to the student of Brant's career. William L. Stone, Jr.'s _Life and Times of Sir William Johnson_, 2 vols. (1865), contains much valuable information regarding the events which shaped the early career of Brant. B. B. Thatcher in his _Indian Biography_, 2 vols., dismisses Brant with an unsympathetic and prejudiced paragraph, but several of his chapters, particularly the one dealing with Red Jacket, throw much light on the struggles in which Brant took part.

Other works which contain much material relating to Joseph Brant are Mrs Holden's _The Brant Family_; Eleazar Wheelock's _Narrative of the Original Design, Rise, Progress and Present State of the Indian Charity-School at Lebanon, In Connecticut_ (1763); William V. Moore's _Indian Wars of the United States_; Jean N. McIlwraith's _Sir Frederick Haldimand_, and A. G. Bradley's _Lord Dorchester_ in the 'Makers of Canada' series; Lewis H. Morgan's _League of the Ho-de-no-sau-nee, or Iroquois_; E. M. Chadwick's _The People of the Long House_; _Documents relating to the Constitutional History of Canada, 1759-1791_, selected and edited by Adam Shortt and Arthur G. Doughty; _Haldimand Papers_, January 1779 to March 1783, copies of which are in the Dominion Archives; _Handbook of Canadian Indians_, edited by James White, F.R.G.S.
