Simon Girty was a man larger than life.  To Americans he was a vile traitor who killed the innocent with his savage friends. To the British he was a rough drunk but a useful tool.  To the Iroquois and other Ohio Nations he was a prodigal son who was raised as a Brave and then returned to fight for his adopted people's freedom.
