Among those from the Medical School is listed one Benjamin Franklin Peirce. Īlternatively, in the lobby of Memorial Hall at Harvard University, the names of Harvard men who died in the Civil War are inscribed. His birth name is taken from a member of Hooker's own family named Franklin Pierce. He was given the nickname "Hawkeye" by his father, Benjy (Sr.), in the novel and in the series from the character in the novel The Last of the Mohicans, "the only book my old man ever read". In the novel and film, Hawkeye is married with children, but in the TV series, he is a bachelor and something of a ladies' man. His mother is deceased and he has a sister (although, like Vermont, they are mentioned in some early episodes), and he is close to his father, who-as mentioned in the later episodes-is also a doctor. His father graduated from medical school and settled in Crabapple Cove, Maine in 1911. Pierce was born and raised in New England, most often mentioning Crabapple Cove, Maine, with a few references (primarily in the early seasons) to Vermont. In the television series, he becomes the Chief Surgeon of the unit early in the first season. Although just one of an ensemble of characters in author Richard Hooker's MASH: A Novel About Three Army Doctors, in the television series Hawkeye became the center of the MASH unit's medical activity. In the novel, he serves as a moral center and author's alter ego, chiding Trapper John for calling Major Houlihan "Hot Lips," which he never does himself. Between long sessions of treating wounded patients, he is found making wisecracks, drinking heavily, carousing, womanizing, and pulling pranks on the people around him, especially Frank Burns and "Hot Lips" Houlihan. On television, Alan Alda played the Captain. in the novel) was played by Donald Sutherland in the film.
