Now, this version of the story involved a white, drunk man, but there is another which claims that Cooter Brown a man of African-American and Cherokee origins, who lived in the south of Louisiana.
He acquired a small plot of land, which he received as a gift from an old Cajun fur trapper. He had a small hut which came with the land, and he lived there during the dire times of the Civil War.
Cooter was known for always being dressed as an Indian, emphasizing and confirming his Native American origin, for Indians were considered freemen by law, unlike the African-Americans who were subdued to enslavement. Whenever Union or Confederation soldiers would arrive, he would be dead drunk. Would it be Union Blue or Confederate Gray? Cooter had family on both sides of the conflict and the thought having to potentially bear arms against his kin folks was just too much for the peace loving Cooter Brown to handle.
So he did what any real man would do when faced with a no win situation, he got drunk. He decided that if he was drunk neither side would want him. That way he could be his own neutral state of inebriation. He would not have to fight against family or see brother do harm to brother.
He, Cooter Brown, would become a passed out pacifist. That is the legend of Cooter Brown and now you know why he is the standard bearer for all of who choose to be drunk instead of facing life on life's terms.
If you're the drunkest one there, neither side will include you in their fight and you can be God's own drunk and a fearless man. Bruce Mikells Published: October 15,
