Notes
Dale Martz said that Peter lost his eye as follows.
When Peter was young, he was full of piss and vinegar. The blacksmith shops in those days had large windows that were left openin the summertime to cool the place down. One day, Peter decided that instead of going through the door as usual, he would jump through a window. Unfortunately, just inside of the window was a hook hanging from the ceiling......
