- "His Miami name was "Apekonit" (carrot), perhaps in reference to his red hair."  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Wells_(soldier)

- "The village chief adopted Wells and gave him the name Apekonit, 'wild carrot', because of his red hair. Soon Apekonit was serving as a decoy in war parties on the Ohio river, luring American travelers by his fair skin and red hair."  https://books.google.it/books…
