Excerpt from Senator Yulee of Florida: A Biographical Sketch
There are two other incidents of Senator Yulee's childhood which must be recorded, because of the mark they left; the one upon his physical, the other upon his psychological being.
Having been given an apple by some one - ii a woman. The fall of Adam might be traced pari passu - he climbed upon one of the stone gate-pillars of his father's residence, in order to enjoy himself, with tranquility, in splendid isolation. A passing practical joker threatening to seize the fruit, he started back, fell, and as a result, bore for the remainder of his life, upon the center of his forehead, a deep blue scar, which, curiously enough, formed the letter Y with perfect distinctness.
