Format

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.
