Chofee, warrior of the Uchee tribe. He was 6 feet in his moccasins, strong, having a haughty air and lofty mien, who loved a dusky maiden whose hand was claimed by a rival. The girl's father was an influential man of the tribe, and favored the rival, he being the scion of another powerful member of the savage nobility. Chofee took his disappointment to heart, and during the negotiations with the whites for territory, Chofee drank with the rest, and when his rival boasted of his conquest, Chofee struck him in the face. This injury could only be resolved by a dual in which one or the other must perish. The two warriors retired to a lovely glen, shut in on all sides by abrupt cliffs, and there engaged in mortal combat, using knives. Chofee killed his opponent. After that, he went into seclusion. In the meanwhile, the Uchee Indians took up their long march towards the far west, but Chofee remained behind, living among whites, making Colonel Wells' place his headquarters. He soon became famouse as Chofe, the Injun Doctor, and became widely known. One of his medicines was the "Chofe root", well known in South Georgia, as a remedy for cholera.
