Narrator's Father's House in A Courtship in "A Courtship" (Location)
Biography: 

The narrator's father is a member of the Chickasaw tribe. He has a house inside the Plantation. He advises Ikkemotubbe about the best strategy for courting Herman Basket's sister, and helps Owl-by-Night look for Ikkemotubbe's horse. Along with "the young men," he also stokes the fire in the steamboat at the end of the story (380), which leaves open a possibility that the text never develops: perhaps like Ikkemotubbe, the narrator's father "went away" from the Plantation (362).
