Drowning Bear (Youngusha). There is a legend which says that a Cherokee man, Tsali, was taken at gunpoint from his home along with his wife and older sons and that on the wa to the stockade, an incident involving Tsali's wife caused Tsali and his sons to react violently, which resulting in their killing two solders. They then fled into the woods, but were finally found by William Holland Thomas, a white man raised by Yonagusha (Drowning Bear) with a bargain that if Tsali and his sons would turn themselves in for execution, that the soldiers would allow the rest of the Cherokee people who were hiding in the mountains to remain there.
