Indian Jim and the Lone Pedestrian of Cherokee County
A Dr Houston tale links three ancient Cherokee mounds near Alto to Indian Jim, a nomadic figure who wandered between the Indian Territory and East Texas. The woe-begone man, famed for hunger and terse English, killed a rival in a feud with a young squaw, faced a tribal court martial, and was banished for seven years. He walked a two hundred mile vigil, sleeping in woods, and was last seen four years before Dr Houston’s visit as a storm chased him toward the mounds.
