He was a good-looking Indian, twenty-four years old, apparently of unmixed blood, short and stout, with a broad face and reddish complexion, and eyes, methinks, narrower and more turned up at the outer corners than ours, answering to the description of his race.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I began quite early in life to sense the thrill a girl attains in supplying money to a man.”
