The figures for the Choctaw appear to tell a simple story. Setting 
aside two or three early estimates, which are evidently too small or 
too large, there is practical unanimity. It wotdd seem from the 
figures given us by travelers and officials that during the eighteenth 
century the tribe had a population of about 15,000. Only a few 
small tribes were added to it during the historic period. Toward
