"Colonel Munro - The commander of the British forces at Fort William Henry and father of Cora and Alice. As a young man, Munro traveled to the West Indies, where he married a woman of “Negro” descent, Cora's mother. When Munro's first wife died, he returned to Scotland and married his childhood sweetheart, who later gave birth to Alice. Although Munro is a massive, powerful man, circumstances in the war eventually leave him withdrawn and ineffectual."

I was intending to Illustrate the Last of the Mohicans, but it appears I've been beaten to it, though like many pre-exisitng Novels its somewhat lacking in integrity. Who knows, maybe i will do the Novel some day.

Poor Old Colonel Munro, he has a hard time, and he's had an even worse press c/o the 1992 film.

He is a father to Alice and Cora and is a real historical character.
