		Bird’s tragedy of Peru, Oralloosa (1832), but more especially his Broker of Bogota (1834), both produced by Forrest, are among the most significant of American dramas.
		Bird was also known as a novelist, and one of his romances, Nick of the Woods, dramatized by Louisa Medina in 1838, proved to be one of the most successful melodramas of the time.
		Bird’s fellow-citizen, Richard Penn Smith, while not so great a dramatist, is significant on account of his laudable attempts to treat native material.

	A Wholly Unbelievable Story
		Thus Bird's novel is half over before we are introduced to a possible villain and motive responsible for Roland's misfortunes, and more than three-quarters over before we get the villain, Richard Braxley, explaining himself to an accomplice; Medina, however, pulls this scene almost verbatim into the first act where it functions as effective exposition.
		From Bird's perspective, therefore, the prevailing romanticized portrait of the "Noble Savage" is not satisfactory because it ascribes a nobility to Native Americans based upon the degree to which they possess European characteristics.
		Medina, however, seems to recognize that Bird's desire to undermine this stereotype is blatantly at odds with his desire to delineate a character that is representative of the frontier in all its complexity, and to portray this character as the representative American.

		A 1984 essay written by Robert P.

		Bryant’s essay focuses on the portrayal of the Kentucky wilderness and its inhabitants in Bird’s novel.
		Bird was a doctor and a very educated and accomplished man on several accounts, so he was undoubtedly a member of the socially/politically powerful group.

		Yet another of the watercolors to which Dr. Bird seems to have returned during the 1850s, when he was working at his photography, this simple view--a man netting fish from the Ohio while riding a floating log--captures the artist's sense of the sheer immensity of the landscape he was trying to capture in paint.
		Bird includes some instructions to himself about how to "Paint the sky" as well as indications of color values.
		This evocative scene--early evening, the moon just rising over the water--was painted when Bird was still a student at Penn. The final image exhibited on this occasion, it is shown here together with works from the 1820s and the 1830s, as well as with works bearing suggestions that they represent revisions from the 1850s.

		Beyond the conventional bells and whistles of plot in Nick of the Woods, the primary narrative movement is the revelation of Nathan as the pacifist avenger, as (to use Bird's oxymorons) "the warlike man of peace, the man- slaying hater of blood" (Bird 341).
		And to Bird, who comments editorially after describing a group of warriors mutilating a dead body, the "red-man of America" is a lover of blood whom "the dreams of poets and sentimentalists have invested with a character wholly incompatible with his condition.
		Bird has had his protagonist "out-savage the savage," to appropriate words from Roy Harvey Pearce's analysis of Indian haters in fiction (238).

		Descriptions of mental disease by authors such as Charles Brockden Brown, Robert Montgomery Bird, and Harriet Beecher Stowe took shape within the terminology of the emerging field of psychological medicine, a discourse profoundly implicated in the politics of the new nation.
		States of Mind tracks the active role fiction took in popularizing, articulating and, at times, challenging the political import of this new psychological discourse.
