: There has been some discussion on the board about
: the identity of the person called "The Grey Hair,"
: and it has been remarked upon that the Col. Monro
: of the film didn’t seem to fit the bill. We know
: that Michael Mann used cinematic license
: to collapse time by placing Joseph Brant at an older
: age than he actually would have been during the time
: the film was set. Given this I have often wondered if,
: when her refers to the Grey Hair, if he wasn’t
: making a composite figure out of Monro. Monro was a
: heretofore unnoticeable Scottish Colonel relegated to
: commanding a wilderness fort who could not have afforded
: an address any where near Portman Square. Nor was
: he capable of painting the war post red, stirring up the
: fearsome Mohawk bringing them to fall upon
: Magua’s village.

Wasn't "Grey Hair" simply another name Magua used when refering to Col. Munro?
