Another new Troiani piece, featuring an American Loyalist and a Native ally with Joseph Brant, the Mohawk leader who lead Crown operations on the New York frontier during the American Revolution.

Brant fought in the 7 Years War, and in 1775 was received in London, where he met King George III and was inducted as a Freemason. He was also given a number of rifles as a gift, one of which he employed on his return voyage to America when his ship encountered a rebel privateer.

He commanded Loyalist and Native forces along the frontier throughout the Revolutionary War, and was blamed for a series of massacres, though at least one was exaggerated and another was due to the indiscretions of Loyalist commander Walter Butler.

After the war he and his Iroquois were granted land in Canada. They settled in Ontario and Brant continued to lead them until his death in 1807. He was one of the most well-known Native Americans of the eighteenth century among English-speaking peoples.
