Among them was a powerful Frenchman known as Captain Shunan. He had won his title by hard fighting, possessed a magnificent physique, was brave and skilled in the use of arms, and was the most quarrelsome individual in camp.Sure doesn't describe any frenchmen of the last two centiries. :-)
It is impossible to picture a more irascible and disagreeable personage than Captain Shunan
I think Kerry can give Captain Shunan a run for his money.
