The James Logan Courier

By Arthel Cargill, Courier Staff Writer

Director Dominic Sena's adventurous tale "Season of the Witch" is about a Crusader in the Holy Wars who deserts his cause after taking the life of an innocent girl and realizing that what he fights for is no longer in the name of God.

The hero of the tale, Behmen (played by Nicolas Cage), sets out towards his homeland alongside his trusted friend Felson (actor Ron Perlman), but what the two find is a land cursed with a dark plague.

Daniel "Chappie" James Jr. (11 February 1920 - 25 February 1978) was a fighter pilot in the U.S. Air Force, who in 1975 became the first African American to reach the rank of four star General.

Early life
Daniel James was born in 1920, in Pensacola, Florida, where he graduated from Washington High School in June 1937. From September 1937 to March 1942, he attended Tuskegee Institute, where he received a bachelor of science degree in physical education and completed civilian pilot training under the government-sponsored Civilian Pilot Training Program.
