NATCHEZ CHOCTAW INDIAN CHIEF OKAH TUBBEE


As I've said before, one never knows what will turn up here in the historic old town of Vicksburg, Mississippi. This small 43-page "book" is a good example. It's an 1848 first edition of Chief Okah Tubbee's autobiography. That said, I have to admit that Tubbee's background raises questions as to whether or not he was really a Native American. If you're interested in reading a quick summary of the book, go here: http://docsouth.unc.edu/neh/tubbee/summary.html. What a wild ride this fellow had in his life! Read it and you'll be fascinated.
