BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE 



Porter (P.) — Contiimecl. 



and receiving successive promotions until lie 

 reached a first lieutenancy. At the close of the 

 war he returned to the Creek nation and resumed 

 work on his farm. Being much interested in 

 the education of his people, he gave consider- 

 able time to the re-establishment of the schools 

 which bad been closed during the war, and for 

 several terms acted as school superintendent. 



Mr. Porter has served twelve years as a mem- 

 ber of the Creek council— four years in the 

 lower and eight years in the upper house. Of 

 the latter he was presiding officer for four 

 years. He has been a delegate at "Washington 

 during thirteen dili'erent sessions of Congress, 

 attending to the interests of his people, and he 

 has contributed largely to the success of many 

 of the more important raeasiires aftectitig the 

 policy and management of the Indians. 



In the troubles which the Creek nation has 

 passed through since the war, growing out of 

 the change from their original institutions to 

 the formation of a system of government, in- 

 surrections amounting to almcst civil war have 

 occurred at three different periods. Mr. Porter 

 was commissioned a general by the council, 

 and to him largely belongs the merit of putting 

 down these insurrections with but little blood- 

 shed. Ho is interested in the unitication of all 

 the Indian nations in the Territory and in se- 

 curing to them, as early as possible, citizenship 

 and Statehood.

Taylor Postoak is the son of a town chief, 

 and has himself been a prominent man among 

 his people for the last thirty years. During 

 the war he wont with the division of tho 

 Creeks who wont to Kansas, but after their 

 return was one of tho most active in tho 

 work of uniting his people under a constitu- 

 tional government. Under that he has served 

 one term as second chief, and I think has also 

 been a member of the council. 



He is an elder in the Presbyterian church, 

 and is probably at least seventy years old. Ho 

 speaks no Engli.sh, but has always taken great 

 pains to have his children educated. — Mrs. Rob-
