thread_title: Masterful work

message: The article states Brant was "perhaps the only Indian to be commissioned as a British captain"  There were other Indians who fought on the British side who were also called Captain.  For example, "Captain John Deserontyon".  However, it is difficult to determine if these "Captains" had a commission in the British army.  BradMajors 11:19, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, Native war leaders were often called "Captain" even though they had no commission from the British. (Captain Pipe most famously.) This use of the title, common also in the French and Indian War, apparently indicated that the man was a "war chief" (or war leader) as opposed to a "civil chief" (or sachem). Brant was never a sachem, of course, and he was a Mohawk "war captain" even before his British commission, which came, by the way, not from the British army but rather from the Indian Department, a separate service. Brant's biographer Kelsay believes that Brant was possibly the only Indian in the war to formally receive a British commission. —Kevin Myers 15:45, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Brant was made Captain twice.  Once in 1775 by Guy Johnson in the Indian department and again in 1779 by Haldimand.  The 1779 Captaincy was a better one since it entitled Brant to a salary.  In the 1796 painting of Cornplanter he is wearing a Gorget indicating that he is an officer in the British army. (whether or not he actually was). BradMajors 20:54, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Captain Brant

message: (in the "Ambush on the Ohio" section)
Just curious: how could Brant have successfully attacked Clark, who was traveling on the Ohio River?  Fire at his force from the river bank?  Launch canoes and engage in sort of a naval battle with canoes? Terry Thorgaard (talk) 20:06, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Good question. Brant said "we was going to attack them" but he didn't say how. —Kevin Myers 23:01, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
