You could give me a little credit. I didn't point out that Houston's Indian name was Big Drunk, well earned. Now you may have the last word.

I suppose all your trollish tearing down of other persons leaves us with an open ended question: exactly who DO you like? Let me guess. An obnoxious rent seeking yankee along the lines of, say, Thaddeus Stevens or the syphilitic Lincoln.

actually, GEN Houston had a total of THREE Cherokee names (plus his WARname, which only a FEW his clan-brothers & presumably his wife knew):

1. Raven,

2.Big Drinks (rather than drunk. his Indian neighbors were FASCINATED with how much firewater he could drink & still stand up!)&

3. Falls Down Much (after the death of his favorite & youngest son, by his Cherokee wife, Houston was PROSTRATED by that loss, as anyone who has kids can understand.)
