Pale Faces: The Masks of Anemia (Bellevue Literary Press Pathographies)

Product Information

The story of the Ku Klux was first produced in Tennessee and arose from the specific circumstances of that time and place. Tennessee's Reconstruction was an early and truncated affair. It began following the Federal invasion of the Middle Tennessee heartland in February 1862, which led to the appointment of Andrew Johnson as military governor. A largely homegrown class of Radical Republicans had restored state government in 1865 and kept Tennessee exempt from the 1867 Reconstruction Act. The Republicans enfranchised Freedmen in 1867 and established a statewide public school system. But their Reconstruction enterprise faltered in 1868 and had failed by 1869, the victim of internal divisions and white violence. Brownlow's Republican government, appointed by Washington-bound Andrew Johnson in January 1865, played cruelly with the expectations of freedmen--talking up their rights, extending voting privileges when it suited party interest, but denying full participation in the political process. The Republicans further exacerbated tensions by passing two sets of punitive franchise restrictions against former Confederate sympathizers, eventually sanctioning their "perpetual" disenfranchisement. (43) 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.

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. It is a Wyandot," said Magua, stepping nigher to the rude platform on which the other stood; "a friend of Tamenund." The Paleface is a 1948 American Comedy Western film directed by Norman Z. McLeod and starring Bob Hope as "Painless Potter" and Jane Russell as Calamity Jane. In the movie, Hope sings the song " Buttons and Bows" (by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans). The song won the Academy Award for Best Original Song that year. [3] All Myths Are True: Versions of this occur. In The Last of the Mohicans one is voiced by the Delaware women at Cora Munro's funeral. In The Prairie the dying Natty Bumppo is more doubtful, but in his discourse to Hard-Heart at least admits the possibility that the Christian God of the white men and the Great Spirit of the Pawnee will in the end be revealed as identical and that Natty and Hard-Heart will meet again in the afterlife.

The eyes of all present, which had hitherto been gravely scanning the person of Duncan, were now turned, on the instant, toward the upright iron frame of this new pretender to the distinguished appellation. It was in no degree remarkable that there should be found two who were willing to claim so great an honor, for impostors, though rare, were not unknown among the natives; but it was altogether material to the just and severe intentions of the Delawares, that there should be no mistake in the matter. Some of their old men consulted together in private, and then, as it would seem, they determined to interrogate their visitor on the subject. The Painless Peter Potter character was to some extent inspired by a real dentist named Painless Parker.

Our deeds shall speak for us!" Sympathetic P.O.V.: In The Last of the Mohicans this occurs despite the overall Protagonist-Centered Morality. The passages which focus on Magua and the other Hurons make their motives more understandable and show that they have their own tragedies to bear, some of which have nothing to do with the novel's protagonists.
