Chief: The Autobiography of Chief Phillip Martin, Longtime Tribal Leader, Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians
Retired Choctaw Chief Phillip Martin led an Indian tribe of sharecroppers from the poorest pocket of poverty in the most impoverished state in America, to prosperity beyond their wildest dreams.
