Speech of Col Cobb Choctaw Chief in council with US agent
A powerful 1850s era speech from Col Cobb head Mingo of the Choctaws, replying to a United States agent. He recalls the Great Spirit, laments lost land and broken promises, notes that chiefs opposed the treaty, and asks the pale face to convey the Choctaw plea to the Tall Chief. The oration blends mourning, tradition, and insistence on justice.
