He has published a beautifully illustrated, full color children’s book based on this story which he learned from an old Choctaw man in Mississippi a long time ago. The story is based on the true tale of the Choctaws helping runaway slaves escape from the plantation on one side of the Bok Chita River to Choctaw land on the other side. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Tim will have many of his books and CDs for sell and will be able to sign them while we snack on punch and cookies.
