Choctaw Indian Tribe

History of the Choctaw, Chickasaw and Natchez Indians

H. B. Cushman, the son of missionaries working at Mayhew, a Choctaw Indian station in Mississippi, observed the Indians' heartbreaking removal from Mississippi between 1831 choctaw indian tribe and 1833. Later in life he continued to be associated with them, when he lived in Texas just across the Red River from the Choctaws choctaw indian tribe and Chickasaws. In 1884, in an attempt to criticize white exploitation of the Indians, Cushman embarked on writing his History of the Choctaw, Chickasaw choctaw indian tribe and Natchez Indians from the Indians' point of view. He spent six years renewing contacts, visiting cemeteries, observing Indian councils, choctaw indian tribe and studying Indian records in the original languages. Published in 1899, his history is extremely valuable for his firsthand observations on the removal choctaw indian tribe and later history of the Choctaws choctaw indian tribe and Chickasaws as well as for its material on the Natchez Indians, about whom little is in print. Because the original edition was repetitious choctaw indian tribe and contained homilies choctaw indian tribe and irrelevant literary allusions, Angie Debo abridged, edited, choctaw indian tribe and indexed the work. Her 1961 edition, with a new introduction by Clara Sue Kidwell, is here published in paperback for the first time. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
