The charge exploded and blinded him in one eye. The other eye, left a milky blue, darted around trying to do the work of two good eyes, giving him a disturbing appearance. The accident had earned him his nickname... Another factor that might have contributed to his antisocial behavior, though it is impossible to date: after Cap died, doctors found a fragment of a bullet inside his skull, pressing on his brain." p.113, hardcover: "It would be a moonless night. Anse -- standing with his brothers Wall and Elias, as well as his sons Johnse, Cap, and Bob, the last just fifteen -- organized his men. The family included Andy and Lark Varney, sons of Devil Anse's sister Matilda, and eighteen-year-old Tom "Guerilla" Mitchell, who was married to their sister Nancy, and was rounded out by Bill Tom Hatfield, a cousin of Devil Anse; the slow Cotton Top Mounts; and Joe Murphy, whose daughter would later marry Wall's youngest son. Charlie Carpenter served as the sergeant at arms. The three Mahons, the three cross-over McCoys, the two Whitts, Dan and Jeff, and Alex Messer mustered with others in lines in front of the schoolhouse."
