In his autobiography, he made several false claims about Jay Silverheels's career and origins, potentially out of spite or to support his own narrative, including that he had a glass eye and was an illiterate gambler.
"
Jay was a champion lacrosse player and a very good boxer till he got one of his eyes bopped out. Had himself fitted with a glass eye and some vague notion of becoming a professional gambler, he packed up his lacrosse stick and headed west.
He began hanging around Gower Gulch which is where my brother and I spotted him as potential movie material.
I mentioned he got his start in Unconquered because that's the first time anybody singled him out for any close camera shots. Actually, he had been playing bit parts in some writing sequences in Western Union.
He distinguished himself by not being able to write at all. Without knowing what the hell he was doing, he managed to keep up with the rest of us writers of the Purple Sage falling off his horse both on cue and off.

"
The world will be saved by true lovers who consummate their marriage in the natural way described in this book.
For many years, the writer has seen that the way the human race has coitus is unnatural. It is a perverted and secondary mode of coition.
what then you ask is our error. There is only one answer. The erection of male organ and forcible entrance is unnatural. The female womb and vagina, when active and erect with the sphincter closed, has the power of suck.

"
although we believe that girl watching has it all over bird watching, we feel that these two hobbies do share one important feature. They're both genteel. They both respect the rights of the watched.
A girl watcher never leers, nor does he utter any sound which might betray his joy.
Don't let this girl's costume fool you. She's not really a mad scientist. She's a girl, a real live girl.
It is this is a smokable. It should be smoked in Paul Mall is the most smokeable of all.
then came the 70s and 80s and the landslide victories of indignant feminists. The loss of the lovely word girl was a parallel casualty of the house cleaning.
