Merrill, leading to his desire to become an \"Indian Doctor.\" Tubbee's details his travels and voyages by steamboat, first as a musician with the Louisiana Volunteers and later on his own. Towards the end of his narrative, Tubbee expresses a desire to let his wife, Laah Ceil, speak for herself. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this final, additional section, Laah Ceil describes her birth, her education, her Christian convictions, and the manner in which she met and married Tubbee. She also recounts their travels together and their advocacy \"in behalf of the Indians\" and against forced relocation. The \u003ci\u003eSketch\u003c\/i\u003e concludes with an original poem by Laah Ceil and a collection of letters, documents, and vouchers attesting to Okah Tubbee's identity and his medical skill.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA DOCSOUTH BOOK.
