In the American Revolution he did much to bind the indigenous people to the British and Loyalist side. He fought (1777) at Oriskany in the Saratoga campaign. In 1778, leading the Native American forces, he joined Walter Butler , and together they raided Cherry Valley, where they massacred the defenseless inhabitants. He was an able leader in other raids.
