Alvin Rucker

The Last Real Indian Alvin Rucker

This is a story about Chitto Harjo, or Crazy Snake, sometimes referred to as "the last real Indian," and whose name has been associated with three so-called rebellions or uprisings in Oklahoma. Harjo was a full-blood Creek Indian, whose English name was Wilson Jones, a follower of Isparhecher, who had been a leader of the federal element among the Creeks during the Civil war, and who continued a prominent factor in the Creek tribe after the Civil War. This volume also contains the transcript of Harjo's (Wilson Jones) address to the United States Senate in 1906 discussing the history of the Creek Nation and its treaties with the United States.
