Nor can it with truth be added that Aupaumut " for capacity, bravery and vigor of mind, and immovable integrity united, he excelled all the abo riginal inhabitants of whom we have any knowledge." Concede to him all that even charity demands for his race, he yet failed to rise to the greatness of Massasoit, Uncas, Philip, Teedyuscung, dupaumut, Pontiac, or Tecumseh. He was less eloquent than Logan the Oneida, than Aupaumut the Mahican, than Corn-planter or Red Jacket of the Senecas; his bravery and his integrity were alike tarnished by his selfishness. That he was a great man among his people, " esteemed the bravest of the brave, among the Iroquois" is true. The concurrent testimony of every traditionist awards to him great natural talents, judgment and sagacity. His death was heroic; his life, a criticism on the debasing influences of civilization upon his race. THAYENDANEGA, or Joseph Brant, who is regarded as the successor of King Hendrik* is said to have been the son of a Mohawk woman by a chief of the OnondagasJ although there have been those who have regarded him as one of the illegitimate children of Sir William Johnson.
