Synopsis

William McCombs provided this informal personal history in October 1928, the year before his death. Topics touched on include Creek Laws concerning marriage, divorce, and murder, the Battle of Honey Springs, Creek Indian Chiefs, personal family history, and Creek towns. He spent all his life among his home people in the Creek Nation. His education came from the Indian Government schools, and at 17 years of age at the outbreak of the Civil War he enlisted in the First Creek Regiment in Company C. He worked as an interpreter during this time. Soon after the war he was elected a member of the Creek Council and sat in that body altogether for six terms, of four years each, and was a member of the Council when the tribal affairs were wound up preparatory to statehood. For four years he was also Superintendent of public instruction and for three years a Superintendent of Eufaula High School. For another period of four years he sat on the Supreme bench of the Creek Nation. The last official rank he held in the Creek Nation was as interpreter for General Pleasant Porter, a governor of the Creek Nation. He filled that office for six years.
