Biography: 

Boon's grandmother was an Indian, "the daughter of of one of old Issetibbeha's Chickasaws" (18), who married a white man. When Boon has been drinking, he sometimes claims she was related to "Issetibbeha himself," which would give him a kind of "royal" pedigree like Sam Fathers, but the narrative treats this claim as specious (18).
