Interestingly, according to his biographer, he adopted the name “Seton” because he strongly believed his family had claim to a title of nobility under that name (apparently, not in reality). He also did it to spite his father, whom he hated. Also, he famously considered his father an ogre of cruelty (again, allegedly mostly untrue). ---

I would point out that Lt Devon Harris, JDF, was a graduate of the Canadian Northern Warfare course. He has no trouble at all with cold weather. ---

> [@Dangerosa](#): > > They really can’t win…any hint of stereotypes will be stereotypes, no black princess is racism, too ‘white’ isn’t celebrating the culture…but they’ve gotten better (really no where to go but up from the portrayal of Native Americans in Peter Pan). They bring in cultural experts now from day one to help them craft their world. It’s very damned if you do, damned if you don’t. I give them props for doing it regardless of how it may be perceived and the flack they may get. ---
