Lucinda Davis

Lucinda Davis was an African-American woman enslaved and raised by a Muscogee man in Indian Territory. She witnessed the Battle of Honey Springs near her house. She was freed with the Emancipation Proclamation and later reunited with her parents. In 1937, when she was estimated to be 89 years old, the Oklahoma Writers' Project interviewed her; the slave narrative produced then is the main source on her life. She discussed in detail the Muscogee customs she experienced as a child.
