• Notes

  According to his grandson, Warren Wakefield Eisner, Peter Brown's actual name was Dunne (which means Brown). He escaped Ireland as the British had a price on his head. He worked in a logging camp and always had men travel with him for protection. One day he decided to travel alone. He was found dead under a bridge the next day, having been shot . The locals said it was the British who took care of him which Warren stated was untrue. In his words, "The truth of the matter was that whenever he drank he was a miserable bastard to the local Indians. It was they who did him in."
