A Gathering of Statesmen: Records of the Choctaw Council Meetings 1826–1828 Paperback by Peter Perkins Pitchlynn (Author)

A leader and future chief of the Choctaw Nation, Pitchlynn created this record in the wake of a series of Choctaw Council meetings that occurred during the years 1826–1828.

The council consisted of chiefs and other tribal statesmen from the nation’s three districts. Their goal for these meetings was to uphold traditions of Choctaw leadership and provide guidance on conduct for Choctaw people.
