The Weekly Constitution, Atlanta, Ga. March 30, 1903
Famous Soldier and Poet Will Deliver Lectures.
Jackson, Miss., March 23. -- Major Lamar Fontaine, the most picturesque 
character in Mississippi, soldier, duellist, explorer, scientist, poet and 
rifle shot expert, has embarked on a lecture tour which promises to attract 
much attention.
This remarkable man, although now well advanced in years, and seared and 
scarred with a hundred bullet wounds, minus a leg lost int he civil war, and 
having endured more hardships and hair-breadth experiences than generally fall 
to the lot of a score of them, is still hale and vigorous, and possessed with 
all the energy and ingenuity that has made him famous over two continents.
