Biography: 

The "half orphan" Habersham boy first arrives at the Mississippi settlement with his widowed father (202). As a grown man, he becomes the region's Indian agent; either before or after this, he marries a Chickasaw, one of Issetibbeha's granddaughters. To protest the Indian removal policy, he resigns his government job "in a letter of furious denunciation addressed to the President of the United States himself" (Andrew Jackson), and moves to Oklahoma "with his wife's dispossessed people" (202).
