Caption:
"... Shrewd, Talented." | Additional Description: Thus, a traveling preacher characterized George Colbert, the half-Scot,
half-Chickasaw Chief, who operated a stand (inn) here between 1801
and 1820. But, for more than 30 years, he helped negotiate with
the U.S. for Chickasaw rights as the tide of settlement
advanced from the East, and his successful farm
showed his people the way of their future.
This short path will take you
to the site of his stand and
along a remnant of the
old Trace that it
served.
