Publisher's Synopsis
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. This is an exploration of Native American leadership in the American Revolutionary War. Examines the following Native Americans: Joseph Brant, Cornplanter, Dragging Canoe, Guyasuta, White Eyes, and many more. Even though there was no major Native American participation during the war, the British provided funding and weapons to attack American outposts. Some Indians tried to remain neutral, seeing little value in participating yet again in a European conflict. A few supported the American cause. Includes a bonus chapter on Native Americans in the United States.
