THE DEATH OF BABY PIERRE by Clyde Freeman Herreid SUNY/Buffalo On March 7, 1964, the baby known as Pierre was born in a remote part of Quebec Province in Canada. He appeared to be a healthy six-pound twelve-ounce child, except he did not eat well. Over the weeks after his birth, he became progressively more lethargic, vomiting periodically. Most peculiarly, his urine smelled of rotten cabbage, and soon the smell permeated his clothes and body.

Not the form of growing up that most young men these days go through, but the growing up a man does when he watches friends die. The growing up that is necessary to stay alive during war. Howard Fast’s quote at the beginning of chapter seven states, “And you’ve lost your youth and come to manhood, all in a few hours....Oh, that’s painful. That is indeed” (111).

During his lifetime (1902-1959) he was a pivotal figure in some of the dramatic changes wrought between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people. More than almost any other well-known Australian, his life and stature as an artist reflect the changing attitudes of Australian society in the 20th century. He was torn between two worlds simply because he had the wisdom to recognise both.

After his tour was finished he was given sleeping pills and anti-depressants, then several months later he sought some mental health care. They had forced him back into battle stating that “...his problem wasn’t serious enough.” When he returned, he was referred to a hospital for mental care twice, each time with more medication, and finally without his weapon. “I stopped running missions, and I
Edgar Allan Poe’s Life and the Unsavory Rumors Surrounding it Edgar Allan Poe’s life was made up almost entirely from when is father abandons his family in 1810. To “Elizabeth Poe dying of tuberculosis in 1811.” Poe lived a long healthy life while everyone died around him.
