"Life of Joseph Brant—Thayendanegea (Vol. I.)" by William L. Stone is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This work delves into the life of Joseph Brant, a significant Mohawk leader and figure during the American Revolution, exploring his ancestry, early life, and his involvement in the conflicts of the time, particularly his relations with Native American tribes and colonial powers. Stone aims to provide a counter-narrative to the often negative portrayal of Native Americans, emphasizing their culture and experiences within the context of early American history. The opening of the book establishes the foundation for the life of Joseph Brant, addressing questions surrounding his parentage and forebears amidst various conflicting narratives. It details Brant’s early years, including his education and significant influences from figures such as Sir William Johnson, underscoring the complex interplay between Native American and colonial interests. The author sets the tone for a detailed exploration of Brant's pivotal role in the border wars of the American Revolution, suggesting a comprehensive examination of his life, the historical context he navigated, and his significant contributions to both his people and American history.
