The Henshaw family moved to the wild country of DeSoto County,
Mississippi with the departure of the Chickasaws in 1836. They
farmed the rich land, hunted the rivers and streams, and struggled
against slave robbers and outlaws. They were aided by their fast
friend Push-pun-tubby, a member of the Chickasaw nation who had
remained behind after the migration of his people to Oklahoma.
Push was a wise man in many ways. He took young Herndon Henshaw
under his wing, becoming to him a special friend, mentor, and
spiritual guide in many sojourns into the wilderness.
Almost as soon as he became an adolescent, Hern fell in love
with the beautiful daughter of a neighboring family, friends of the
Henshaws since older days in Limestone County, Alabama, from which
they all had come to Mississippi. The couple had a beautiful
courtship before they were separated by circumstances they failed
to control, until it seemed unlikely they would ever meet
again.
