Joseph Brant, 1743-1807: Man of Two Worlds Book

One of the toughest books I've ever read but interesting enough not to put down. Not a military history but pure biography emphasizing the struggles of one man fighting encroachment on his people's land and their culture. A controversial figure on both sides of the Canadian-U.S. border whose "Monster Brant" reputation was not warranted. The one major flaw in this book is the lack of maps to accompany the text. That would have made following the narrative a bit easier as it jumps from place to place frequently. I bought this book in 1990 at the Biography Bookstore on Bleeker Street in Manhattan, used as reference for my Master's work at NYU. I'm glad I finally got a chance to read the WHOLE thing, over 600 pages! Happy New Year!
