Colonel Munro
A psalmodist, or singer and teacher of hymns, David Gamut meets with Heyward, Alice, and Cora on the initial trip from Fort Edward to Fort William Henry. Although Gamut has never fired a weapon and considers himself a pacifist, he manages to survive as a Huron captive for much of the novel, and is unhurt in the major skirmish that ends the book.
