"That truth should be silent I had almost forgot"--Enobarbus in ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA, back in Rome after having been too long in Egypt.--------- Melville's PIERRE, Book 4, chapter 5: "Something ever comes of all persistent inquiry; we are not so continually curious for nothing."

The Lonesome Death of Charles Henderson, 23 year old shoemaker, 5 ft 6 in, from Orange Co. NC, near Argulus's family
At Fort Stoddert in New Orleans in 1812 he was given 50 lashes for being drunk, and again 10 days at hard labor with his whiskey allotment stopped, then for being drunk on guard 15 days on bread and water with whiskey allotment stopped, then (after some events I don't understand) on 25 April 1813 he died, there in New Orleans.
Was he one of ours?
