When perfect silence was again restored, and after the usual long, impressive pause, one of the two aged chiefs who sat at the side of the patriarch arose, and demanded aloud, in very intelligible English:

Dressing as the Enemy: A half-comical example occurs in The Last of the Mohicans, where it entails dressing up in the Huron medicine man's bear costume. Not all Pale Faces had fought for the Confederacy and some claimed to have been Union men. Two brothers, David P. Erwin and Ephraim E. Erwin, both Pale Faces, filed a claim for war damages with the Southern Claims Commission. Character witnesses noted that both men were "opposed to the war & took no part in it" David had worked as a brakeman for Union forces on the Nashville & Decatur Railroad. Ephraim, two witnesses testified, deserted the Confederate army. "He was conscripted and deserted," one explained, "and came to my house for protection, and hid out till they (the Rebels) went away." (76) Ephraim was not alone: hundreds of Maury County men, according to a local witness, deserted Confederate service after the debacle at Franklin and Nashville in December 1864, and many others hid out to avoid being press-ganged by retreating Confederate units. (77) Andrews himself had done no less.

Calamity Jane ( Jane Russell) is busted out of a sheriff's jail by a couple of government agents under Governor Johnson ( Charles Trowbridge) and Commissioner of Internal Affairs Emerson ( Stanley Andrews). Johnson and Emerson wish to hire her to uncover white traders illegally selling guns to an Indian tribe near Buffalo Flats, one of the frontier areas; because the agents they previously sent to investigate have turned up dead, they feel they need a new approach and have conceived a plan to use Jane, both as a woman and skilled gunfighter. In return for her services, Johnson and Emerson offer her a full pardon for her past crimes. Will a wise Delaware believe the barking of a wolf?" exclaimed Duncan, still more confirmed in the evil intentions of his ancient enemy: "a dog never lies, but when was a wolf known to speak the truth?"

Iron deficiency anemia can occur when someone has gastrointestinal bleeding from their stomach or intestines. Pale skin could actually be one of the first signs, since blood in your stools may not be visible to the naked eye; doctors refer to this as ‘occult blood.’”— Dr. Anne Jacobsen 2.

The eyes of Magua flashed fire; but suddenly recollecting the necessity of maintaining his presence of mind, he turned away in silent disdain, well assured that the sagacity of the Indians would not fail to extract the real merits of the point in controversy. He was not deceived; for, after another short consultation, the wary Delaware turned to him again, and expressed the determination of the chiefs, though in the most considerate language.

Respiratory infections include conditions like influenza (the flu), throat infection, and the common cold. When you have a respiratory illness, the blood vessels in your skin constrict so your body can redirect blood flow to treat the infection. This makes you look pale. It is enough," he said. "Go, children of the Lenape, the anger of the Manitou is not done. Why should Tamenund stay? The pale faces are masters of the earth, and the time of the red men has not yet come again. My day has been too long. In the morning I saw the sons of Unamis happy and strong; and yet, before the night has come, have I lived to see the last warrior of the wise race of the Mohicans."Papers of Andrew Johnson 6:595; Hans L.

Nimrod Porter, a local farmer and diarist, notes: "Many taking the oath of Amnasty [sic] but few taking the Johnson oath" (Feb. 22, 1864). Then later, on March 5, 1864: "The day of Election for County & district officers. Not much excitement. The Voters many of them much displeased to have to take the Johnson oath. All went off peacibly." Porter was a pro-slavery Unionist. Nimrod Porter diary, Southern Historical Collection, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Collings S, et al. (2016).

Karmic Death: In The Deerslayer Tom Hutter tries to make money by raiding a Huron camp for scalps. He ends up dying after being scalped alive by the Hurons. Ah! had I that piece which furnished the name you use, I would obligate myself to cut the thong, and drop the gourd without breaking it!" returned Hawkeye, perfectly undisturbed by the other's manner. "Fools, if you would find the bullet of a sharpshooter in these woods, you must look in the object, and not around it!" It is a Wyandot," said Magua, stepping nigher to the rude platform on which the other stood; "a friend of Tamenund."Named After Someone Famous: In The Last of the Mohicans, Uncas has the name of a number of historic Mohegan chiefs.

Fleming was a keen student (and admirer) of the Ku Klux, going so far in his 1905 edition of the Lester and Wilson text as to criticize the authors for being too apologetic. Fleming expended considerable effort in trying to uncover its early membership and activities for a projected volume on the subject. But his position of dean of the College of Arts and Science at Vanderbilt gave him little time for scholarship and he died before the writing got under way. Two collections of Fleming's papers at the New York Public Library and the Jean and Alexander Heard Library, Vanderbilt University, contain some correspondence about the early Ku Klux. Blight, Race and Reunion, 111. Blight draws upon Primo Levi's writings on the memory of genocidal violence. Levi has written that the "the end point of the deformation of memory of a committed fault is its complete suppression." Over time such emasculations of the truth give rise to falsehoods, or what Levi termed "fossilized" lies, "an ancient lie frozen into a formula." Primo Levi, "The Memory of Offense," in Geoffrey H.
