The subject of this sketch was born in the year 1819, in the Chattahoochee Valley, Alabama. When a young lad he came with his parents to the Indian Territory. They were among the first Creek people to leave their old home in the South, to dwell beyond the Mississippi River, in that land which the Great Father at Washington had promised "should be theirs so long as the grass grew and the rivers flowed." Truly he merits a place on the records of history as "The Patriot Chief and Christian Example of the Creek people." This volume also includes an updated list of Principal Chiefs of the Creek Nation from 1867 to 2016.
