Riding Out the Storm - 19th Century Chickasaw Governors, Their Lives and Intellectual Legacy

Klappentext Phillip Carroll Morgan reveals three nineteenth-century Chickasaw governors not merely as historic First American leaders, but also as complex intellectuals. Their lives are set against literary backdrops relating to their experiences--Cyrus Harris with the family of celebrated author William Faulkner, Civil War governor Winchester Colbert with literature about war, and William L. Byrd with his great-grandniece Jodi A. Byrd's critiques of colonialism.
