24 Days of La Fayette: December 1st - Edmund Brice

Edmund Brice was on of La Fayette’s earliest aide-de-camps but not among the most famous ones. He is however one of the men that we still have the Acts of Embarkation of. In France at the time there were strict laws regarding religion. Huguenots (who, in very simple terms, were not Catholic) were prohibited from leaving the country. To enforce this law, every French person who wanted to leave France had to attest their Catholicism. Edmund Brice was one of La Fayette’s fellow travellers on La Victoire and therefor had to go through the same process. These Acts contain a lot of mistakes, sometimes because the clerk misspelled or misinterpreted information and sometimes because members of the expedition made misleading statements on purpose to obscure their identity. One of this may be the reasons why Edmund Brice’s name is written as “Leonard Price” on his Act of Embarkation.

Archives départementales de la Gironde, Histoire maritime (1640-1889), Certificats de catholicité (1713-1787), 1777-1784 (07/29/2022).

Brice was a native of Annapolis, Maryland and the French papers tell us, that he was of average height for a man at the time (Moyenne taille). His hair colour was recorded as a dark blond (cheveux chatains). There is a small portraiture that survived of Brice.

Idzerda Stanley J. et al., editors, Lafayette in the Age of the American Revolution: Selected Letters and Papers, 1776–1790, Volume 1, December 7, 1776–March 30, 1778, Cornell University Press, 1977, p. 50.

His age on March 21, 1777, the date of his Embarkation, is noted as 22 but that is wrong as well. Brice was born in 1751 (therefore being 26, not 22) and died in 1784 at the age of 33.

Brice had travelled to Europe to study art and painting and there he met La Fayette. In a letter from March 16, 1777 to John Hancock, Silas Deane wrote about Brice in the following terms:

I send you for your entertainment, by Mr. Brice, a young gentleman of Maryland, whom I think deserving your notice, as a worthy sensible young man, the London papers, in which you will perceive the character I have the honor of bearing in England, and that I have fled, &c. &c., which causes diversion here.

Idzerda Stanley J. et al., editors, Lafayette in the Age of the American Revolution: Selected Letters and Papers, 1776–1790, Volume 1, December 7, 1776–March 30, 1778, Cornell University Press, 1977, p. 33-34.

Brice left Paris on March 18 for Bordeaux where he arrived in time to embark onboard La Victoire on March 21. Given that he was American and was fluent in England, it is quite easy to imagine that La Fayette enjoyed his company during the crossing of the Atlantic. He wrote on April 19, 1777 in a letter to William Carmichael:

Thank you very much for having given me Mr. Brice. I like him very much, and he is popular with everyone. We shall always be together, as you seem to have desired.

Idzerda Stanley J. et al., editors, Lafayette in the Age of the American Revolution: Selected Letters and Papers, 1776–1790, Volume 1, December 7, 1776–March 30, 1778, Cornell University Press, 1977, p. 50.

After landing off the coast of Charleston, Brice was among the six officers that travelled with La Fayette and the Baron de Kalb to Charleston and from there to Philadelphia. While travelling, Brice functioned as a guide, although he was not familiar the area.

The Marquis's aide-de-camp took it upon himself to serve as our guide, even though he had no knowledge of that part of the country.

Memoirs of the Chevalier Dubuysson in Idzerda Stanley J. et al., editors, Lafayette in the Age of the American Revolution: Selected Letters and Papers, 1776–1790, Volume 1, December 7, 1776–March 30, 1778, Cornell University Press, 1977, p. 73-87.

In Philadelphia, La Fayette applied through John Hancock to George Washington to make Edmund Brice and three other man his aide-de-camps. These permissions were in the end granted although Washington was at first not that happy. Brice was commissioned a Major in 1777 and in October 1778 he was made a brevet lieutenant colonel by the Continental Congress. His promotion was noted in a letter from Henry Laurens to George Washington from October 30, 1778:

“To George Washington from Henry Laurens, 30 October 1778,” Founders Online, National Archives, [Original source: The Papers of George Washington, Revolutionary War Series, vol. 17, 15 September–31 October 1778, ed. Philander D. Chase. Charlottesville: University of Virginia Press, 2008, pp. 647–649.] (07/29/2022)

On October 16, 1778 La Fayette had written Congress to praise the actions of a soldier under his command and to ask Congress for promotions for his aide-de-camps. The letter was read in Congress on October 27, 1778 and resolutions were passed. The soldier that had distinguished himself (and had lost an arm in action) was awarded a livelong pension of 30 Dollar per month. Congress granted La Fayette’s American aide-de-camps, Brice and Neville, a promotion but not his French aide-de-camps. That in turn promoted La Fayette to write another letter on behalf of his French aide-de-camps to Congress on October 27, 1778.

Brice worked closely with La Fayette and often functioned as a liaison-officer between La Fayette and the Board of War or the Continental Congress (and in that aspect especially Henry Laurens). There are many instances where La Fayette writes that a certain letter will be or was delivered by Brice. Brice also once delivered a considerable number of congressional pamphlets from York Town to Washington’s headquarters. During the Battle of Gloucester, Brice’s horse was wounded. It also seems as if Brice was quite good when it came to decipher difficult handwritings. Henry Laurens wrote to La Fayette on March 6, 1778:

I cannot, even with Mr. Brice's aid, decypher the name coupled with that of Monsr. "Failly."

Idzerda Stanley J. et al., editors, Lafayette in the Age of the American Revolution: Selected Letters and Papers, 1776–1790, Volume 1, December 7, 1776–March 30, 1778, Cornell University Press, 1977, p. 336-338.

Brice had stayed some time with Laurens after delivering some papers to him and left on March 6, 1778. Brice also managed financial affairs, at one point affirming the receipt of 6000 Dollar in the name of the Marquis de La Fayette. At one point he also bought an enslaved man for La Fayette for the price of 180 Pounds on August 4, 1777.

It seems as if Brice quitted his post as La Fayette’s aide-de-camp after receiving his new commission on October 27, 1778.

Edmund Brice was the youngest child of his family. His older brother James Brice served in the War as well. He was first a Captain in the city militia and later a Lieutenant in the county militia. His services would earn him the honorary title of Colonel later on. I believe that Edmund married Harriet Woodward (born in 1762 and died in 1840) and they had a son, James Edmund Brice, together. Harriet remarried Alexander Murray after Brice’s death. The Brice’s were a very prominent family in Maryland at the time and it is sometimes difficult, especially with regard to biographical information, to know witch “Mr Brice” is talked about.

I’m now halfway through The Magnus Archives’ 1st season, so I thought it would be cool to just post my thoughts on each episode so far :). (Spoilers, I like all of them, and this podcast is going to be all I care about for a while.) Also NO SPOILERS PLEASE!!!

Link to Masterpost (contains all of these thought posts)

- Episode 1, Anglerfish 🚬

Statement of Nathan Watts, regarding an encounter on Old Fishmarket Close, Edinburgh.

Really strong start, not the scariest episode so far but definitely unnerving, and it gives a good first impression and layer of intrigue. While the story is simple in comparison to the later ones, it was still enjoyable, and I was just appreciating the atmosphere and framing device of the episode as well.

- Episode 2, Do Not Open ⚰️

Statement of Joshua Gillespie, regarding his time in the possession of an apparently empty wooden casket.

This is still one of my favorites. The whole time I was on edge, and this was the first episode that really kept me up at night. I went from wanting to know what was inside the coffin desperately, to wanting to stay away from it as much as possible. Joshua’s insuring dread and creative solution to his problems was fantastic, and it ends with some intriguing plot threads being set up.

- Episode 3, Across The Street 📓

Statement of Amy Patel, regarding the alleged disappearance of her acquaintance Graham Folger.

I think I share a common sentiment when I say that Amy stalking Graham was almost as creepy as the actual horror lmao. Overall I don’t have that much to say about this one, but it was very enjoyable, and I feel really bad for Graham in retrospect :(.

- Episode 4, Pageturner 📕

Statement of Dominic Swain, regarding a book briefly in his possession in the winter of 2012.

I…feel like I should hold off on talking about this one for now. While it was definitely well written and creepy, it just seems to be so full of setup for future plot lines that I almost don’t feel like I can form a concise opinion on it until I really get what’s going on. Honestly, my only complaint with this episode is that maybe it’s setting up TOO much in one go, but I still had a good time with it overall.

- Episode 5, Thrown Away 🗑️

Statement of Kieran Woodward, regarding items recovered from the refuse of 93 Lancaster Road, Walthamstowe.

This one actually did a pretty good job at getting me to think about waste disposal workers lmao, I never really thought about them like that before. This one was just really creepy, but also kind of fun in a weird twisted way. It did a great job keeping me on edge as well.

- Episode 6, Squirm 🪱

Statement of Timothy Hodge, regarding his sexual encounter with Harriet Lee and her subsequent death.

I am simultaneously horrified, and unfortunately aroused by what happened here.

- Episode 7, The Piper 🔫

Statement of Staff Sgt. Clarence Berry, regarding his time serving with Wilfred Owen in the Great War.

Having an episode set nearly 100 years ago is a really fun idea, and it’s executed perfectly here. It was interesting how it also featured a real person, and I liked how the paranormal activity felt more metaphorical here, it really did feel like it was showcasing the horror of war.

- Episode 8, Burned Out 🌳

Statement of Ivo Lensik, regarding his experiences during the construction of a house on Hill Top Road, Oxford.

I found this one to be very nerve-wracking, since not only was the whole scenario with the tree just, like…three creepy things happening at once, but the fact that the statement was given by someone with schizophrenia did a good job making me question it’s validity, even though I’m certain it’s true after listening to a later statement. I also hope that I get to see how the history of the house is unveiled in the future.

- Episode 9, A Father’s Love 💡

Statement of Julia Montauk, regarding the actions and motivations of her father, the serial killer Robert Montauk.

This one made me feel really sad :(. I really felt Julia’s despair in this one (Jonathan Sims does such great voice acting for every statement btw, both the character and the actual person), and I was even more saddened by the implications of why Robert did what he did. If my assumptions are correct, then…SCREW THE MOTHER! It was also the first one that got me thinking about where exactly all of the paranormal stuff comes from, and later episodes only add to my theory that it’s all due to demons/cults/higher powers.

- Episode 10, Vampire Killer 🧛🏻

Statement of Trevor Herbert, regarding his life as a self-proclaimed vampire hunter.

Much like Episode 8, this one did a really good job at making me question the validity of the statement, although I became more sure of its truth a bit earlier. I also just love how nonchalant Trevor comes off as, compared to all of the other traumatized horror victims. (Also, I’m guessing that the name Trevor and the episode title are meant to be a Castlevania reference?) While vampires aren’t the most creative thing for an episode, at least in comparison to everything else, the beast-like execution here more than made up for it in my opinion.

- Episode 11, Dreamer 💭

Statement of Antonio Blake, regarding his recent dreams about Gertrude Robinson, previous Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute.

Yeah…Gertrude Robinson did not die a normal death. My guess is that she was caught by ✨the horrors✨, but I’ll wait and see. This was another very tense episode, with the prophetic dream world being really, REALLY creepy. I do hope we get to see more of “Antonio” in the future, as I think he could be quite important. (I also hope he gets punched for DUMPING GRAHAM IN HIS TIME OF NEED-)

- Episode 12, First Aid 🏥

Statement of Lesere Saraki, regarding a recent night-shift at St. Thomas Hospital, London.

OMG GERARD KEAY HI HI HI HI HOW ARE YOU!!! Yeah I audibly gasped when he showed up again, it was such a cool moment. Anyways, hospitals already creep me the fuck out so this was pretty effective. Definitely some great setup here, and it helped to make a bit more sense of Pageturner, now that I have a better idea of what Gerard’s whole deal is. It also added some good fuel to the whole cult idea, and my god this poor nurse. Having to deal with all of this in a single night sounds like hell.

- Episode 13, Alone 🌫️

Statement of Naomi Herne, regarding the events following the funeral of her fiancé, Evan Lukas. Statement taken direct from subject.

Having a new voice in this episode was really cool, and Katie Davison did an excellent job as Naomi! It was also cool to see how Jon interacts with other people, he was…nicer than expected. This episode honestly felt like it was calling me out, as I am also someone who’s confident in my independence, but if I was in Naomi’s place I would also probably be scared shitless. I really hope she’ll get a happy ending :(. Also, The Lukas family is quite intriguing, especially since we now know they have a connection to The Institute…

- Episode 14, Piecemeal 👆

Statement of Lee Rentoul, regarding the murder of his associate Paul Noriega.

Firstly, this is probably my favorite of Jon’s vocal deliveries. His performance of Lee Rentoul just feels perfect. (Once again, this applies to both the writer and the character, I’m genuinely convinced the latter is an ex-theatre kid.) Outside of that, THIS ONE CREEPED ME OUT. The body horror was very effective, with the only thing holding it back being the fact that Lee isn’t the most likable protagonist in the podcast, but if this happened to someone else I’d be even more upset. Still though, it was a very creative concept, and the whole vibe and execution of the episode made it great.

- Episode 15, Lost Johns’ Cave 🕯️

Statement of Laura Popham, regarding her experience exploring the Three Counties System of caves with her sister Alena Sanderson.

What the fuck. What the fuck. What the fuck. What the fuck. What the fuck. What the fuck. What the fuck. What the fuck. What the fuck. What the fuck. What the fuck. What the fuck. What the fuck. What the fuck. What the fuck. What the fuck. What the fu-

- Episode 16, Arachnophobia 🕷️

Statement of Carlos Vittery, regarding his arachnophobia and its manifestations.

The way they tackled the concept in the title was really well done. Arachnophobia is seen as an irrational fear by a lot of people, so having it portrayed as an effect of childhood trauma was a good call. And as someone who is not arachnophobic, this episode got me close to feeling that way. What ever force was making Carlos relive his trauma is a sick fuck. Also the cat was a real one, glad he survived the whole situation. (Also THE WORMS, HOLY SHIT IT’S THE SEX WORMS!!!)

- Episode 17, The Boneturner’s Tale 🦴

Statement of Sebastian Adekoya, regarding a new acquisition at Chiswick Library.

This episode really compelled me to get out the rubber bands connecting images lmao. I really liked all of the connections to past statements here, like the presence of another book from the library of Jurgen Leitner, to the mention of Micheal Crew. The body horror here was once again very creepy, (outside of the flat rat, that was morbidly funny), but my favorite part of the episode was the introduction of Elias, which was a humorous, but also very intriguing scene. Also, the themes of books containing power was great as well. Great stuff all around.

- Episode 18, The Man Upstairs 🥩

Statement of Christof Rudenko, regarding his interactions with a first floor resident of Welbeck House, Wandsworth.

…ew. Ok in all seriousness, this is probably my least favorite episode so far. Still very far from bad, but after all of the extremely interesting themes and plot threads, having an episode where the idea was just “What if a guy had a house covered in meat? Wouldn’t that be fucked up?”, felt just a little bit underwhelming. Which like, the fact that my least favorite episode’s biggest problem is that I find it slightly pales in comparison to previous ones is just a testament to how much I’ve been enjoying the podcast. Still though, there were definitely a few things I really liked. The reveal of the room was creepy (especially considering the meat that seemed…alive…), and as someone who has had to deal with upstairs neighbors making noise for hours during construction, this episode definitely scared me.

- Episode 19, Confession, and Episode 20, Desecrated Host ✝️

Statement of Father Edwin Burroughs, regarding his claimed demonic possession.

This, alongside Lost Johns’ Cave, was one (or I guess, two…) of those episodes that seriously fucked me up. While I am not religious, I have always had fears of how religion can negatively affect me and the people around me, despite the good that it seems to do for so many people. So seeing Edwin be charged for every “sin” he committed by a higher power that wishes to steal its faith, and then not get judged by it, but by the people around him for his one true sin, was absolutely haunting, and I hope he turns out ok in the end. Outside of the horror, the episodes were fantastic. Listening to the events of Episode 8 from Edwin’s perspective, and seeing how Ivo’s actions saved him, was really cool, and solidifies in my mind that Ivo’s experience was real. The connections to demonic magic and Latin script thickened, and it was overall just a great mid-season finale. In conclusion, I hope that Martin feels better soon, and if he isn’t actually sick and is being plagued by ✨the horrors✨, well then I hope he survives :).

Thank you for reading my silly little thoughts if you’ve made it this far, it really means a lot to me :). I’ll probably update this every time I finish half of a season, so hopefully my thoughts on episodes 21-40 will be here in the Reblogs soon. :)

Since you're into old hollywood, what other actors/singers are still alive from that era? I mean the era of Dean & Jerry etc. I know Tony Bennett and Harry Belafonte are still alive GOD BLESS THEM -born the same year as Jerry and the following year respectively- which gave me hope more people are still alive from their time but I'm not American so I don't know everyone.

Petula Clark, Sidney Poitier, Betty White, Marsha Hunt is 104, Larry Storch, Shirley MacLaine (worked with Dean and Jerry of course), Glynis Johns, Eva Marie Saint, Maria Riva (Marlene Dietrich's daughter was an actress and is 96), June Lockhart, Arlene Dahl, Angela Lansbury, Gina Lollobrigida, Lee Grant, Dick Van Dyke, Mel Brooks, Barbara Rush, Rosemary Harris, Nancy Olson, Ann Blyth, Earl Holliman (was in Visit to a Small Planet with Jerry, and The Sons of Katie Elder with Dean), Henry Silva (worked with Jerry on Cinderfella and Dean on Ocean's Eleven), Terry Moore, Ann Robinson, Vera Miles, Bob Newhart, Don Murray, Joan Plowright, Tippi Hedren, Gene Hackman, Joanne Woodward, Clint Eastwood, Robert Duvall, Claire Bloom (worked with Jerry in Max Rose), Leslie Caron (worked with Jerry in Funny Bones), Mamie Van Doren, William Shatner, Carroll Baker, Mitzi Gaynor, Barbara Eden, Angie Dickinson (worked with Dean in Rio Bravo), Rita Moreno, Piper Laurie, Harriet Andersson (worked with Jerry on The Day The Clown Cried, Joel Grey, Robert Morse, Marisa Pavan, Felicia Farr, Chita Rivera, Kim Novak, Elaine May.

That's people that I can remember are 88 and up.

Steve Lawrence, Johnny Mathis, Bobby Vinton, Frankie Valli, Shirley Jones, Richard Chamberlain, Willie Nelson, Pat Boone are in their late 80's but were famous in the 50's/early 60's. I didn't include people who started working later than the early 60's.

[wearevillaneve]

Sandra Oh is a great actress but i do feel she was undeserving of an emmy nomination this year, as the writers really screwed her over and gave her very little screen time/ little to work with this season - there are other actresses who gave much more deserving performances i.e. Viola Davis or arguably Nicole Kidman. Also idk if it’s just me but I hate the constant comparison between Sandra and Jodie in this fandom, they are both very talented, let’s stop tearing one down to big up the other!

Any rivalry between Sandra and Jodie is pretty much driven by the fandom picking sides, as the two actresses have done little and said less to fuel any supposed competition.   I’m with you on that.

Where we part ways is saying Sandra is “undeserving” of her third consecutive Emmy nomination for playing Eve Polastri on Killing Eve.   Did the writers “really screw her over” and was the titular character of the show left wanting for screen time and story development?   Without a doubt, that is exactly what happened in Season 3. Which is why Sandra could not be more deserving of the Best Actress In A Drama nomination.   She killed it with no help from head writer Suzanne Heathcote.  Sandra has been in the business for a while now and she can count.   She can look at the call sheet for an episode and see how many lines she has and how many scenes she is in.   It doesn’t take a genius to see those lines and scenes aren’t there for Eve and that is when Sandra has to make a decision.   She can stomp off to Suzanne or Sally Woodward-Gentle and start raising hell, “What the hell is this?   Where are MY scenes?  Where’s MY solo episode?  I’m not going to stand for this.” Or she can take what they give her and do something special with it and that’s precisely what she did.   Some of Sandra’s best acting moments in a season where her character is starved for attention, come when she doesn’t speak at all or when she does, she nails it.

There are few wasted scenes whenever Eve is on screen.  She’s doing something or saying something that advances the story.   Drunk and Mean Eve taking no shit from anybody at Kenny’s memorial was classic. I wonder if that weird hand wave she gives Carolyn was scripted or improvised.  She comes with no fucks left to give as she tells Konstantin, Jaime and Carolyn exactly what she thinks and doesn’t care even a little bit what they think. This happens repeatedly.  Whether she’s throwing a birthday cake off a roof, or fighting on a moving bus with the woman who shot her and left her to bleed out, or seeing her estranged husband block a pitchfork with his throat, to crushing his assailant’s ribs with gleeful malevolence,  Sandra brings her “A” game to Suzanne’s “C” level scripts.  The bowling match with Dasha was masterful with both Oh and Harriet Walter having a great time verbally sparring and it wouldn’t take long for Dasha to learn you never ever tell Eve Polastri she can’t do something.  

Sandra has accumulated a lot of good will in Hollywood, and despite being snubbed repeatedly by the Emmys, her body of work is strong enough to earn respect from her peers despite Killing Eve’s messy and mediocre third season. Familiarity and sentimentality may not be enough to get Sandra over the hump and particularly when Jennifer Aniston (The Morning Show) and Laura Linney (Ozark) whom are currently leading the pack.

Awards are nice, and they come with certain perks (like an unprecedented solo episode for KE’s resident Emmy winner, perhaps?), but ultimately that’s the wrong yardstick to measure success.

Equitably distributed screen time and story lines are nice if you can get them, but when you don’t, you can stomp your foot, walk off the set and slam the door of your trailer.   That’s one option.

The other is to do your job and do it well.  Do it so well in fact that even if one character is being emphasized while the other is not,  it’s not always about, “Actor A had more lines and screen time than Actor B, so she clearly is the better actor.”

Sometimes it is what you do with what you have and Sandra did the thing because she’s that person.  A professional.  She lets her acting and actions do the talking for her. All that makes Sandra Oh worthy of her third consecutive Emmy nomination.

Encourager in a Blue Dress (part 2)

1943 was one of the best and worse times to be a Negro. After the Great War, going back down South was more than I could take. Even though I knew the Creole flavor of Baton Rouge and Lafayette would remind me of France-I also knew the people were still the same ol' backward folk I grew up around. God knows the only action I saw overseas was the occasional backlog of PX supplies, but at 19, I had seen a world where people appreciated you for who you were. Hell sometimes wanted you over a white boy. That was especially a treat being black AND homosexual. I didn't want to go back to anything less. So, I went up to the progressive North. 

Detroit, Michigan: the last stop on the Underground Railroad before Canada. If it was good enough for Harriet Tubman, it was good enough for me. With the start of a new war, Detroit was the Arsenal of Democracy-all the auto plants were converted to making the stuff we needed to kick Hirohito's butt. There were jobs aplenty. Negroes were coming up from the South by the thousands. But then so were whites. And there weren't enough places for everyone to live. So, people started getting agitated. And suddenly Jim Crow was alive and well in the North. 

I found a place in the Brewster Projects, but we all knew we was paying twice as much as the whites in other places-and most of us didn't even have bathrooms in our houses. I knew something was going to explode. In the summer of '41, I was seeing a plump little dark-skinned kid named Maurice. He was 23, and far too young for me, but he had a round, tight ball belly that I would thump like a melon and send him off the deep end. Not only was I homo…I loved big boys. 

Anyway, he was a little hothead-had his hand in too many things. He joined this group of black boys who were fighting these white kids from Hamtramck. One day a bottle found its way to his skull and ended our good times. I should have left Detroit then. But I stayed and worked on assembly lines helping to build engines for bombers and PT boats. 

One day, on the way into my shift, I passed a group of white men. One of them looked my way then looked down and spit some chaw in the dirt in front of him. He said, "I'd rather see Hitler and Hirohito win than work beside a nigger on the assembly line." I could have stopped and challenged him. But what would have been the point? I knew most of the other men in the plant felt the same way. So, I did what we all did: looked the other way, did our job, prayed that things would change; and drank lots of whiskeys 'til they did.

That is until the summer of '43. It was a Sunday when I heard the rumor. I was preparing myself mentally to go back to work the next day. Soon after I heard that comment outside the plant, 25,000 Packard employees struck in protest to the promotion of three black workers. The air was so charged with violence, I was afraid to light a match for fear we'd all go up in flames. 

I'd stopped off at the Forest Social Club, just to hang out for a minute. I had a nice little hot bottle of hooch in my pocket to ease me into the evening, and I even thought I might make a hookup. Not many men in the Motor City were going to admit to having a thing for another guy, but I could often find some fat-bellied man at Forest who was just drunk enough to cut my drought with. And I had found him. Horace Ulmer was perfect. A mason who worked free-lance; Horace was a big man. Standing about 6'5", and weighing about 400 pounds, Horace could swing a sack of cement 10 yards. Sober, Horace could've intimidated the Devil. They say he once pounded a guy's ear into his skull. But Horace was a tea toddler-he couldn't drink anything stronger than a Dr. Pepper without getting drunk. And when he was drunk, Horace Ulmer was a pussycat…and the fact that he liked men would come out. 

As I was thinking about the head job I was going to be getting from big Horace, Lee Tipton, and Little Willie Lyons burst into the club. Lee and Little Willie were regulars. They often had a crowd of people around them, laughing and telling stories. They weren't laughing that Sunday afternoon. What they said changed my life, and the lives of thousands of people, black and white, forever. 

Leo Tipton and Little Willie came in shouting that whites had thrown a black woman and her baby off the Belle Isle Bridge. The crowd at the Forest Social Club went wild. More than 500 angry people swarmed onto the street that day. They moved to Woodward, near Paradise Valley and began breaking windows and looting stores. Nearby, west of Woodward, in an area inhabited by whites that had migrated from the South, another rumor caught fire: whites said that blacks had raped and murdered a white woman on the same bridge. Detroit turned into Hell. By the time it was all over, 34 people were dead. One of them by my hand. I left town and found my way home to New Orleans. Little did I know, there was something much hotter and more explosive than anything in Detroit waiting for me on the Bayou.

From the Smallville episode Vengeance

CHLOE: Now this is what I need, Clark -- a catchy moniker for our new crime-fighter. "Miss Death Wish." No, that's lame. "Dirty Harriet." No, that's too derivative. I got it. I got it, Clark. So, your mom said that she swooped down from the heavens. So how about "The Angel of Vengeance"?

CLARK: Chloe, police report.

CHLOE: Right. I'm sorry, Clark. Once I go Woodward and Bernstein, I get carried away.
