==Quotes about Brant==
*"Joseph Brant was a very remarkable character. An Indian, without a drop of white blood in his veins, he was still a gentleman of culture. He was before my time, but I, as a young man, remember his children. I remember his son, who was a gentleman of high culture, who sat in the Upper Canada Legislature. His daughters were ladies of education, who, although educated with all the accomplishments of a white lady, were not ashamed of their nation, garb and habits, and they lived and died glorying in the name of Brant."
