"He instinctively can find the shining greatness of our American culture and does a good job of highlighting it (although he also does have those rare lapses when he writes about hockey, but that is something caused by impurities in the Eastern waters or something)." Erik Keilholtz

The Friends of Uncas have arisen in the village of Gilbertsville, N.Y., to protest the sale of an antique Indian weathervane from the local Grange Hall. (Here's a pic of the vane from a page on the hall.)
The Wall Street Journal of Dec. 15 devotes Column Four on its front page to a telling of the saga, accompanied by a fine WSJ pointillist rendering of Uncas. The piece unfortunately is not posted online, but if you have a copy of Wednesday's WSJ handy, the article is a good read.
A nine-foot weathervane of IndianSt Tammany is a centerpiece of the American Museum of Folk Art. I rather like the vane of Fame pictured here, and the Oxford History elephant. And how about this dragon?
