Tahlonteeskee (Creek chief)

Tahlonteeskee (or "'Talotisky of the Broken Arrow"') was the (possibly Cherokee-given) name of a Creek chieftain killed fighting along-side his allies, the Lower Cherokee during a failed attack against Buchannan's Station, a frontier fort near Nashville, Tennessee (in the Southwest Territory), on September 30, 1792. Also killed in this attack was Pumpkin Boy (brother of Doublehead) and a Shawnee warrior called Siksika (an older brother of Tecumseh). Wounded in the skirmish was John Watts (also known as 'Young Tassel'), a future leader of the Cherokee people.
