Introduction: It was their Finest Hour No drama in the Second World War is more enshrined in myth then that frigid, hundred-day episode along the shores of Karelia. Not that the veneration is ill merited, however. For three months, the Finnish state, equipped with but a dozen antiquated tanks and ten infantry divisions, managed to not just resist, but also humiliate the colossal Red Army on an international stage. “This was to be the icy Thermopylae – a Thermopylae every day - upon which the fate
inspirations. Linnaeus practiced medicine and specialized in treating syphilis before becoming a professor of botany in Uppsala. He also attended University of Leiden in later years to further his education (“Carl”).

“I was a poet and didn’t know because my feet were such long fellows.” This is a phrase that comes to mind when someone references Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. In a composition class, Vaccaro once said, “Longfellow is pretty much absent from most primary schools’ and high schools’ curriculums, and forgotten from many undergraduate and graduate schools’ study programs.

In spite of Irving's seventeen years in Europe, his search for native themes led him to contribute importantly to portraiture of the American Indian. Although his firsthand observation of Indians was limited, he was liberated om the pioneer's need to justify Indian displacement. He was able to view Indians sympathetically, bringing the perspective of a worldly man to questions of civilization and savagery.
