Sir William Johnson A Great American of His Day
The piece reviews a biography of Sir William Johnson, Irish immigrant and Mohawk War chief, detailing his landholdings in the Mohawk Valley, alliance with the Iroquois, military leadership in Lake George and Niagara, and his role as a benevolent, feudal-like ruler at Johnson Hall. It cites Pound and Day’s six-volume study as final authority and notes Johnson’s death in 1774 at Johnstown.
