replies: text: I'm pretty sure he was named after Benjamin Franklin, and his last name is Pierce. Perhaps the original novel's writer named the character the way you suggest, but obviously within the MASH universe (as in ours) there isn't much choice about one's last name (referring to "Franklin Pierce").

text: This is not true, it was never stated in the television series he was married. In fact, in "The Army-Nacy Game," one of the earlist episodes, it was specifically stated he was not married and, though in the episode "Ceasefire" he tells several nurses he's married beileving the war is over, at the end of that episode he says that he gave up three nurses for "an imaginery wife and family." Still, he said he was engaged in the pilot episode.
In season 4, episode 9, “The Kids”, Hawkeye told BJ that had worked to put his wife through medical school. It could however be construed that he was making a wise crack.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.196.248.75 (talk) 02:01, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

message: Per the script, which Donald Southerland essentially says: "HAWKEYE: We didn't have a chance, little Androscoggin College against the Big Green, but there was this blizzard and we held then nothing nothing till the last twenty seconds. Then this great passer of theirs let one go, snow and all..."  Androscoggin is a fictional college, probably near the Androscoggin River in Maine, near Larder's Alma Mater.
His hometown, Crabapple Cove, Maine, is also fictional.
A previous poster said that Hawkeye and Trapper met during their residency in Boston, but the movie script/dialogue indicate an interception in the snow. --Robertkeller 15:38, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

message: The novel established that Pierce’s nickname of “Hawkeye” was given to him by his father. It comes from the novel The Last of the Mohicans, which Pierce initially claimed was the only book his father ever read to him. In the television series, it is the only book his father ever read to him.
:Er... what? Why the italics? Can someone who knows the show clarify this a bit? Rissa 10:14, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Gladly.  In the books, Hawkeye's father (Big Benjy Pierce) is said to have read only one book in his whole life.  In the series it was implied that he had read more but that Last of the Mohicans was the only book he read to young Benjamin Franklin Pierce.  Sound right?  --Harlsbottom 12:31, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Uhm, I have to say that if his father only read one book wouldnt it be his favourite then?  I mean this is comedy right?  --Mihsfbstadium 12:17, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Since Bejnamin Franklin Pierce is his actual name ("Hawkeye" is an informal one), perhaps the title of the article should be renamed? I'm in no hurry, so if there are any objections....Statarius (talk) 09:37, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Perhaps, but that image is from the eponymous - and wholly classic episode "Hawkeye", which was essentially one long monologue that brilliantly showcased the character. --Statarius (talk) 08:52, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
