Pocahontas

My grandfather, A.W. Brent, was a good man. He also was a very stern person with a low tolerance for unresolved conflict. He kept a hatchet in the trunk of his car which he occasionally used to settle traffic disputes.

According to family lore A. W. Brent's mother, Mary, was the daughter of a Cherokee Indian.

I was looking at the picture of my grandfather this morning and wondering how he would react if Donald Trump (or anyone else) tried to ridicule his mother by calling her "Pocahontas."

Wonderful I didn't know about the hatchet but I am a believer. Stern is an appropriate description and also hot tempered intolerant in some instances.
