V (1899)

inennui:

“Have you ever made a just man?”
“Oh, I have made three,” answered God,
“But two of them are dead,
And the third —
Listen! Listen!
And you will hear the thud of his defeat.”

— Stephen Crane

fuckyeahvictorians: lostsplendor: tinynation: Seth Kinman, Californian hunter and obvious total badass.  FUCK YEAH “Seth Kinman (September 29, 1815 – February 24, 1888)…claimed to have shot a total of over 800 grizzly bears, and, in a single month, over 50 elk. He was a hotel keeper and a barkeeper, and was noted for his fiddle playing…Known for his publicity seeking, Kinman appeared as a stereotypical mountain man dressed in buckskins on the U.S. east coast and selling cartes de visites of himself and his famous chairs. The chairs were made from elkhorns and grizzly bear skins and given to U.S. Presidents.” (via Wikipedia) I believe he also went on to star as Hagrid in the Harry Potter series of films.
