They had heard much at Pittsburgh of a famous Mohawk chief called Thayendanegea, but most often known to the Americans as Brant.

He was young, able, and filled with intense animosity against the white people, who encroached, every year, more and more upon the Indian hunting grounds.

His was a soul full kin to that of Timmendiquas, and if the two met it meant a great council and a greater endeavor for the undoing of the white man.

What more likely than that they intended to meet?
"All of you have heard of Thayendanegea, the Mohawk ?" said Henry.
They nodded.
"It's my opinion that Timmendiquas is on the way to meet him.

I remember hearing a hunter say at Pittsburgh that about a hundred miles to the east of this point was a Long House or Council House of the Six Nations.
Timmendiquas is sure to go there, and we must go, too.
