Items related to Choctaw Kisses, Bullets & Blood
Civil war boy-soldier Victor Moreau Locke flees a revenge killing in Tennessee and winds up wounded, ragged, and penniless in Indiana territory. Rescued by a Choctaw couple, he works for a merchant, elopes with an Indian princess, and, intelligent and ambitious, rises to political power, Locke aspires to become chief of the Choctaws, but is disqualified by lack of Indian blood. However, son Victor Jr., a quarter-breed, is elected for a brief span. An actual political war breaks out in 1893 and the Locke mansion is "shot to pieces." This true story encompasses historic coal mining and railroad imbroglios, and betrayal of Indian treaties by the U.S. Government.
