Pushrnataha

A Choctaw war party sprawled
around their campfire after the battle.
That day they had fought the Usage
tribe from west of the Mississippi.
Each brave was telling of his own
deeds Of heroism. Suddenly some one
asked what had become Of Pushma.
taha. lad of twenty. who had march
ed with them. None had seen him all
day. He had vanished Just before the
conflict began.
Pushmataha was the laughing stock
Of his tribe. He was forever talking.
and this Jared upon the silent natives
He was forever boasting, and he had
done nothing thus far to warrant his
boasts. Now. while his name was still
banded about the campfire, with
sneers at his cowardice in shirking
the fight, the youth suddenly appeared.
A howl of laughter and derision greet
ed him.
Let him laugh who has slain more
foes. this day than l." retorted Push
mataha. tossing five scalps upon the
ground.
g. n Deadly Enemy. ~.
He had crept up on the Osages
from the rear and, single-handed. had
killed as many as had the boldest war
rior. For thus making good his boast
he received the rank Of sub.chief and
the title of Eagle" This was in
1885. Not very long afterward Push.
mataha went alone by night to a hos
tile Indian village in the Tonaqua dis
trict. slew seven men and burned part
of the village to the ground. Three
other invasions Of the enemy's coun-
try brought him eight more scalps and
new fame as warrior.
But his reputation was destined to
spread throughout the country; not
merely as killer of hostile Indians.
but as the loyal friend of the United
States. In the war of 1912 many of
the Indian tribes Joined the British
and inflicted terrible damage on west
ern pioneers and soldiers. Tecumseh
had already tried to enlist the Choc-
taws in league against the settlers,
but had been balled by Pushmataha
The Choctaw nation" met in ten-day
debate to determine what side to take
in the war with England. They had
just decided to remain neutral, help
ing neither country, when, at the close
Of the tenth day, Pushmataha rose and
thus addressed the council:
"Our fathers grasped the hand Of
Washington. They vowed to be his
peoples friends. l cannot be false to
their pledge. If our allies, the Creek
nation. have sided with the British.
