Pigeon Roost Pigeon Roost Creek, to your left, is a reminder of the millions of migrating passenger pigeons that once roosted in trees in this area. The species is now completely extinct. One mile east where the Natchez Trace crossed the creek, Nathaniel Folsom of New England and Choctaw wife had a trading post before 1790. Their son. David, later operated it and accommodated travelers. Whe the Reverend Thomas Nixon stopped there in 1815, David's wife "prepared suitable nourishment . . . and would have no pay". David Folsom, strong supporter of Christianity and Indian education, was elected chief of the Northeast District of the Choctaw Nation in 1826. (National Park Service) |
