William Hepworth Dixon, White Conquest: Volume 1, Chapter 26: Cherokee feuds. (search)
t a nominal head. Strong Buck had been sent by Elias Boudinot, a kindly French planter, to a good school, wheounds, Ross and his friends were all for fighting, Boudinot and his friends were all for parleying with the Wh, holding common property under a reigning chief. Boudinot proposed a change. He wished to live like White mlows to murder. Thirty of the Ross party stole to Boudinot's ranch, and finding him absent in a field, sent ftheir knives. A party followed Ridge, an uncle of Boudinot, into Arkansas, and shot him from his horse; whilety rode to the ranch of another Ridge, a cousin of Boudinot, dragged him out of bed, and in the presence of hiolonel Adair, a son of the murdered chief, and Colonel Boudinot, a son of Strong Buck. Dressed in English attire, Colonel Boudinot might pass for a southern White. This young Mestizo speaks with force and writes withrontier, is an incident in. this tribal feud.

Chapter 30: Oklahoma. Oklahoma is the name proposed by Creek and Cherokee radicals for the Indian countries, when the tribes shall have become a people, and the hunting grounds a State. Enthusiasts, like Adair and Boudinot, dream of such a time. These Indians cannot heal their tribal wounds, nor get their sixteen thousand Cherokees to live in peace; yet they indulge the hope of reconciling Creek and Seminole, Choctaw and Chickasaw, under a common rule and a single flag. Still more, their hearts go out into a day when tribes still wild and pagan-Cheyennes, Apaches, Kiowas, and other Bad Faces — will have ceased to lift cattle and steal squaws, will have buried the hatchet and scalping-knife, and will have learned to read penny fiction and to drink whisky like White men.

Only one man in four among the Cherokees is now of pure blood, says Boudinot. Billy Ross, though representing Indian legends and traditions, is a mongrel. Frank Overton, the Chickasaw chief, is a mongrel, and a handsome fellow. In these halfwild tribes the chiefs are nearly all of mongrel blood. The Indians hate theso, the young Red chief is sad; sad, to use his own phrase, as a wood in autumn. He knew the Negroes as a servile race, and the man whom he saw presiding over this debate, of so much moment to his tribe, had been a slave. A coloured man, sighs Boudinot, and yesterday a slave! That men of the White race, leaders of old and mighty States, should sit under a Black fellow and obey his nod, seems to the son of Strong Buck very strange. Yet this strange sight was not so galling to the Cherokee
