Who Fought In The French And Iroquois Wars
General Johnson Saving a Wounded French Officer from the Tomahawk of a North American Indian, painted by Benjamin West between 1764 and 1768. It depicts a scene from the Battle of Lake George.
The painting portrays Sir William Johnson intervening to protect the wounded French commander, Baron Dieskau, from a Mohawk warrior seeking revenge for lost kinsmen.
The actual battle took place on September 8, 1755, in the Province of New York, during the French and Indian War.
The battle was fought between the French and their Native American allies against the British colonial troops and their Iroquois allies, ending in a British victory.
Johnson was later made a baronet and awarded five thousand pounds by Parliament for his role in the victory.
