AS soon as we crossed Red riv-

the Choctaw Indian Territory.
AS we only expected to drive ten
or fifteen miles a day, we we're
some days in that nation. The
country between Red river and
Kansas is admirably adopted for
driving stock then, plenty of
grass and water for stock and
usually a skirt of timber for
camping purposes every few
miles. The Choctaw Indians were
highly civilized, and spoke the
English language. They were al
SO exclusive in their habits. They
would not tolerate intermarriage
with other tribes. If one of their
number strayed off and married
elsewhere he forfeited all of his
rights to a home among his own
tribe. Many of them had their
own plantations and good homes,
and before the Civil war owned
slaves. Mr.. Adams told me he
he had travele d extensively
through the Territory and had
bought slaves and taken them to
Eastern Texas and Louisiana
and he had some friends he would
like for me to meet. So it chanc.
ed one day that we nooned near
the home of some of his acquain.

two ladies who had been educa

he wished ne to meet them my
home in Virginia was not far
from that college. I found them
to be intelligent, good looking

married then, and the Only trace
of Indian in them to be noticed
was their coarse, straight hair
and black eyes. They were very
free to talk and one of them made
the remark that some people
might think it strange th( b she
priced her Indian blood, but,
sail sh,, II am just as proud of
my Indian blood as am of my
white blood" We did not meet
the husbands of the ladies as
they were away that day.
The beef cattle we were dri

of the territory they were sepa
