Looking at the map one day, I discovered a town named Durant in Mississippi, which I never knew about. Which prompted me to research it's history, I learned Louis Durant came down from Canada, married a Chocktaw Indian Chief's daughter, fought with the tribe in New Orleans, negotiated treaties with the U.S. Government in behalf of Indians, that Durant Mississippi was named out of respect for the man. Also learned that according to the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek, if Indians owned land, they never had to go to Oklahoma. However, Louis Durant and family were treated so badly by whites they were forced to sell 7000 acres of land, move to Oklahoma.
This book is fiction, Louis Durant may have never been in North East Texas, uttered words I put in the story, but very well could have. Hopefully you will find the other stories in this book interesting as well. If you read the book, it's seems to me like you have spent part of your time here with me, which I greatly appreciate.
The Horse Trader relates to early Northeast Texas History before and after 1836. It also relates to Louis Durant, Durant Mississippi, and Oklahoma, The Trail of Tears. It contains other fiction, true, and opinion stories plus poetry. Two Sides to Every Story -Fiction written to let characters from book In the Shade of the Oaks tell their side of story. Book is Available.
