Lee Christmas
Lee Christmas (February 2, 1863, Livingston Parish, Louisiana - January 24, 1924) was an American mercenary in Central America. A mercenary character named Lee Christmas, portrayed by Jason Statham, appears in ''The Expendables'' film trilogy.
==Early life and career==
Lee Christmas was born on February 2, 1863, on a plantation on the Amite River in Livingston Parish, Louisiana. As a young man, he worked as a pilot on tugboats on Lake Pontchartrain and later became a brakeman living in McComb, Mississippi for the Illinois Central System in 1879. He helped to build the Louisville, New Orleans and Texas Railroad, and returned to passenger service as a baggage master before the line was completed. He then became a fireman and was later promoted to engineer.
Christmas ran locomotives between Memphis and New Orleans until 1891, when he fell asleep at the controls and ran by a flag, resulting in a collision with an oncoming train. Because he had been on duty for 54 hours when the accident occurred, he was not fired, but he was not allowed to return to his previous position because a company physical had discovered that he was color blind.〔''Boston Globe'', January 22, 1924, p. 9〕〔(Marion Samson Collection of General Lee Christmas and President William Walker, MS-0014.
