Cousin Joshua was mentioned in Chapter 13 as a minor character. When Aunt Alexandra came to visit Atticus, Scout, and Jem to provide Scout a proper "Feminine" influence, and Aunt Alexandra wanted to install some pride of the Finch family into the children. Her first attempt at trying to make the children proud of their family was when she took out a purple-covered book called Meditations of Joshua S. St. Clair. It had a gold stamp on it. Their Aunt told them this was written by their cousin Joshua and Jem recognized the name. He said Atticus told him that Cousin Joshua was locked up for a long time and went crazy at University. Said he tried to shoot the president and was nothing but a sewer-inspector. When he tried to shoot the president, he shot him with a old flintlock pistol but blew up his hand by accident.
