In 18th century north America, many Euroamerican people chose to live among Native American tribes during the wars between Native Americans, white settlers of Spain, French and Great Britain. They were called 'White Indians,' and many of them were children and women abducted by Native Americans. But there also existed those who entered into native people's communities voluntarily. Many of them were English Indian Traders who engaged in the deerskin trade for export to Europe, and who wanted to gain more wealth by a closer connection with native people. The case of a Scotch-English trader named James Logan Colbert who traded with the Chickasaw Indian tribe residing in the southeastern part of North American continent and who married three Chickasaw Indian women, and subsequently became the one of tribal leaders, is examined in this paper. As a 'Red English,' he was also concerned with furthering the interests of Great Britain on the North American continent, so he fought the British crown's enemies: thirteen British colonies which rebelled against their home government (later the United States of America), Spain and hostile Indian tribes like the Choctaws.
