sketched the plan of his encampment at Wyoming and copied the symbols the Indians painted on the forest trees. One of the Mohawk leaders that Hubley must have encountered was Thayendanegea, known to the Americans as Joseph Brant (Figure 38). Educated at what became Dartmouth College and a devoted Anglican, Thayendanegea had fought with the Americans during the Seven Years’ War as a young man. But by 1776, after a trip to England to parley with George III and his ministers, he was convinced that the Iroquois could maintain their independence only if the Americans did not gain theirs. Commissioned a captain in the British army, he led his people against the Americans in southern New York and northern Pennsylvania in some of the bloodiest fighting of the revolution. After the war, Thayendanegea pursued the Iroquois’ interest in negotiations with Great Britain and the United States. Peale painted Joseph Brant, probably in 1797 when Brant made his last visit to Philadelphia, adding the painting to his public portrait gallery. By then, the bitterness about the Iroquois alliance with the British had dissipated, and the public’s attention was focused on the diplomatic crisis with revolutionary France.18
