• Notes from Emmet Starr's History of the Cherokee Indians:

"Redbird Sixkiller was a man of sterling personality; he was born in the old Cherokee Nation.When he was about eleven years old he attended a school some seven miles from his home and had to go over a point of Lookout Mountain to get to school.It was necessary for him to start before daylight to get to school before it opened.One morning he was going over this point of Lookout Mountain when he heard a panther scream in a nearby thicket; no habitation was near and having heard that panthers would not come near fire, he gathered some pine knots and struck a fire with a piece of flint and steel, made a fire and stood around it until daylight when he deemed that he would be secure from the panther. He was a First Lieutenant and generally commander of Troup L of the Third Indian Home Guard, in which his son Samuel was also a member.
