Molly Brant, a Mohawk girl born into poverty in 1736, became the consort of Sir William Johnson, one of the wealthiest white men in 18th-century America. Suspected of being a spy for the British during the American Revolution, Molly was forced to flee with her children or face imprisonment. Because of her ability to influence the Mohawks, her assistance was needed at Fort Niagara, and she found refuge there. A respected Mohawk matron, Molly became a vital link between her people and the Canadian Indian Department. Like her brother Joseph, she worked hard to keep five of the Six Nations on the side of the British throughout the war, believing the empty promises that all would be restored to them once the conflict ended. Although she was seen as fractious and demanding at times, her remarkable stamina and courage gained the respect of the highest levels of Canadian government.

The turmoil of the American Revolution is the setting for Mistress Molly, The Brown Lady: Portrait of Molly Brant, the story of a courageous and adverturesome young Mohawk woman. As a young girl growing up in the Mohawk Valley in the middle of the eighteenth century, Degonwadonti was quick to learn the ways of her people. The influx of the British encouraged her family to teach her and her brother the proud history of the Tribes of the Six Nations Indians. However, the continual wave of settlers arriving to the colonies in North America could not be ignored, and she grew up proudly speaking their language, adopting an English name, and attending their schools. The young woman Molly Brant, epitomized the virtues of being a member of the Six Nations Indians, and at the same time a product of British influence. Her marriage to Sir William Johnson, the man the Indians called Warragheyagey, and who was the Superintendant of Indian Affairs and the white brother of all Six Nations, took her to the forefront of the problems which would grow between the Indians and the British. The endeavours of this great woman commanded the respect and admiration of Indian Chiefs and British leaders. She was named the Head of the Society of Six Nations Matrons by her people, and was a proud guest of honour at the opening ceremonies as Upper Canada's first parliment was convened.

The story of Molly Brant, also known as Degonwadonti, is of special interest because it evolves around the British side of the American Revolution. The main character is a Native American woman who was very involved in important phases of the history of our country. She was born in 1736 and died in 1796. Although Degonwadonti had great influence on the lives of her brother, Joseph Brant, and her partner, Sir William Johnson, and on events in their times, very little attention has been given to her in histories and other literature. Although there exist statues and portraits of both men, there are none of her. You will find among the pages of this book much about the traditions, culture and history of the Six Nations, the Iroquois League, intertwined with dramatic incidents in Eighteenth Century America. Degonwadonti played a large role in those circumstances, and it is time she receives recognition for the significant part she played.
