In Vardis Fisher's historical novel, Mountain Man (on which the movie Jeremiah Johnson was based), one of the characters, a white mountain man, is named Skelp because he had been scalped in his younger days. He went through the rest of his life with no skin on the top of his head and his skull... well, his skull stuck out of the top of his head. Didn't seem to bother him much except that he always had to wear an extra thick hat in the winter. David
