TWO SOLDIER HEROES IN THE FRENCH INDIAN WAR -- Why Is a Spy Called a Mole

                                      FRENCH- INDIAN WAR--TWO HEROES
                                                Why is a Spy Called a Mole

I tried to finish this painting before Veteran’s Day.

Theses two soldiers were in the French Indian

War, Tanachariison and Conotocarius

Known as Half King, chief of all the Senecas Tribes,

Including the Iroquois.

and Major George Washington. Half King

was the mentor of the young Major. By the

way he always had a pigtail and never wore

a wig. Later in his life he powdered his hair but

always the pigtail. Mixed media on canvas...

They won the war. Washington was proud of

his Native American name and signed

                                                        some documents with this name.

WHO TAUGHT GEORGE WASHINGTON HOW TO BE A WARRIOR - WHY IS A SPY Called a Mole?

Lorraine Strieby is working on a portrait of Major George Washington and Half King
Tanacharison, chief of the Seneca Tribes, including the Irioquois.  West Point was
a fort in Washington's time.  He had a mentor, a very good mentor, who was
Tanacharison. He taught him how to be a warrior.  In the portrait, Half King
is finished except his headdress and Major Washington is drawn in.  This is another
fact and painting for her book, WHY IS A SPY CALLED A MOLE.
Portrait coming soon.  You can see Tanacharison on her Facebook page.

Stay tuned...MMM
