Notă biografică
Rickey Butch Walker is a life long native son of the Warrior Mountains. He descends from Cherokee, Creek, and Celtic (Scots Irish) people who migrated into the hills and coves of the mountainous region of north Alabama some 250 years ago. He, as was his father, is a member of the Echota Cherokee Tribe of Alabama. His Indian name is Fish Bird in honor of his fifth, fourth, and third great grandmothers-Catherine Kingfisher, Experience Fish, and Elizabeth Bird; they were some of his Indian ancestors. The kingfisher and fish bird (osprey) love to fish and so does Butch. In addition, the osprey is of contrasting colors of black and white which identify Butch's character. Things that rule his life are true or false, yes or no, and black or white with virtually no gray areas; therefore, he lives his life somewhat as an open book. Also, according to Indian legend, the birds of prey soar high in the sky and carry the prayers of the earthly creatures to the great spirit. Fish Bird (Butch) has his entire adult life been an advocate to preserve and protect the environment for all the earthly creatures that are unable to speak for themselves. Rickey Butch Walker is currently a writer and author; in addition to his Masters Thesis, he has written several books including High Town Path, Warrior Mountains Folklore, Indians of the Warrior Mountains, Indian Trails of the Warrior Mountains, Warrior Mountains Indian Heritage, Doublehead: Last Chickamauga Cherokee Chief, and Chickasaw Chief George Colbert: His Family and His Country. Butch is currently working on two new books, "Celtic Indian Boy of Appalachia" and "Soldier's Wife: Alabama Cotton Fields to Tripoli and Berlin."
