Biographical History

Seneca chief generally regarded as having made sincere efforts to prevent warfare.

A participant in the peace conferences at Montreal, Fort Pitt, and Fort Stanwix, Guyasuta was initially neutral during the Revolutionary War, and then a reluctant supporter of the British. After the conflict Gayashuta resided near Fort Pitt; by 1790 he was destitute.
