It is related by old settlers in this sec
tion that an Indian chief once lived near
Tallulah Falls named Oothlacoochy.
He was an educated man and a great
hunter. On one occasion it is said he
shot a large seven-snagged buck at the
falls and went up to him knife m hand,
and caught hold of bis horns. The deer
being unhurt sprang up and the Indian
hunter and the deer engaged m a per
sonal struggle for half an hour. The
Indian was afraid to let go, and so work
ed him to the edge of the precipice and
precipitated himself and deer into the
waters beneath, where be soon drowned
the deer.
