I disagree CT. I researched him quite a bit for something I'm writing. I even got to hang out with his great granddaughter. He was positive, upbeat and caring. The reason he got elected to Congress is because he was a "people" guy and a great storyteller. The reason he lost the last reelection is his compassion for Native Americans. He wouldn't go along with Andrew Jackson's "squatter's rights" legislation which deprived Native Americans their right to be on any land.
