Description: The novel focuses on the Southern frontier that William Gilmore Simms knew so well, a frontier whose vernacular, courage, humor, folklore, violence, injustice, and beauty are vividly brought to life through the strokes of his pen. Simms' particularly realistic style is evident throughout the book. This book is a written survey of Choctaw history from the late Mississippian era in the 16th century. Simms has presented an incident he encountered as he travelled from his home in South Carolina to visit his father.
