Lewis Wetzel was an American scout, frontiersman, and was 1/4 Mohawk, and was a natural born woodsman. Other Native Americans, and Native American Tribes were all petrified of him. Unknowingly, they all gave him the same name "Death Wind", standing almost or about 5 ft. 10 inches with dark brown hair past his knees in length. And was an expert with a knife and tomahawk. And was even deadlier with a black powder riffle, or musket. In fact, while running at full speed Death Wind could load a Ball in his riffle, pour powder from his powder horn and pack it, and aim it and fire expert marksmanship every time. Raised in what is now the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia, his exploits once hailed as similar to those of Daniel Boone.
