At the dawn of the American Revolution, the 39-year-old Molly Brant, a Mohawk Indian, was the widowed partner of the legendary Sir William Johnson and mother of their eight young children. For the past 15 years, she had assisted Sir William, Britain's superintendent for Indian affairs and hero of the French and Indian War, as he negotiated the relationship between Britain and its colonies with her people, the Six Nations confederacy, sometimes called the Iroquois. Now a time of decision was coming. Would she cast her lot with the colonists who were trying to seize power in a region regarded by her people as the Six Nations heartland, or would she use her great influence to convince her people to remain loyal to the king? Drawing heavily on primary sources, this biography of the Mohawk leader chronicles her task to carve out a promising future for her children and her people in a world that threatened to make homeless refugees of them all.
