Title

Hiawatha's Supplementing - II

Author

Matthew Demakos

Published

The Carrollian - Issue 12 (Autumn 2003), page 59.

Abstract

The author updates his two previous pieces, 'Hiawatha's Annotating' and 'Hiawatha's Supplementing', with information from the newly published volume of letters (Cohen and Wakeling, Lewis Carroll and His Illustrators). The letters show that Carroll had not decided whether or not Hiawatha's subjects were from an English family or a North American Indian family (Frost seems to have decided for him), and that Carroll erased a porter and a barrow from the illustrator's last drawing.
