There was no hesitation, no doubt about him, and despite his age he would lead the Mohawk warriors in person into battle.

Willet, who had known him long, introduced Robert, who paid him the respect and deference due to an aged and great chief.
Hendrik, who was a Mohegan by birth but by adoption a Mohawk, adoption having all the value of birth, was then a full seventy years of age.

He spoke English fluently, he had received education in an American school, and a substantial house, in which he had lived for many years, stood near the Canajoharie or upper castle of the Mohawks.

He had been twice to England and on each occasion had been received by the king, the head of one nation offering hospitality to the allied head of another.

A portrait of him in full uniform had been painted by a celebrated London painter.
He had again put on his fine uniform upon the occasion of his meeting with Colonel Johnson on the Albany flats, and when Robert saw him he was still clothed in it.
