| The Kiamichi Mountains were spelled several different ways over the years. One spelling here is given as Kidmishi. Another spelling given was Kimishi to the flowing river area. Choctaw Country was part of the lands given to the Choctaw indians, and was part of the orginial lands given unto the Five Civilized Tribes known as Indian Territory. X marks the spot along the Kiamichi River and foot hills of the Mountain area that John Leathers would live. His son Clarence, purchase the land some years later from the Five Civilized Tribes. Paris Texas was just due south of the Choctaw Nation across the Red River in Lamar, Co Texas. Many cattle ranch's were scattered on both side's of the Red River. Many worked the ranch's along the Red River area on both sides. One Ferry used to cross over the Red River was just N/E of the Paris Texas area. An X marks its spot along the Red River which was just south of an old indian village. His father Frank James would come to the area in the late 1880s after leaving the Ft. Worth Texas area.
