Indian About the beard Coles statements (title from verso; AMs, 2 p. (1 sheet) European artists, not having seen Indians, tend to depict them covered with animal-like hair. On the contrary, Indians never have beards, and shave off any stray hairs that grow. Cole, a Chippewa educated at Oberlin, said that after adapting white mens habits, he began to grow a beard, and his skin assumed a sticky texture. |
