"A native of LaGrange, Georgia, Tuggle gained national prominence as an agent for the Creek and Yuchi Indian tribes by successfully steering their sizable claims on the United States government through Congress. During the period of these labors he travelled extensively through the new Indian Territory in Oklahoma and the surrounding area, carefully recording details about people, places, customs, and tales which he later developed in large part...from an anthropological standpoint Tuggle's most significant achievement is a collection of Indian myths which he recorded directly from the tales told him by chiefs such as Pleasant Porter and Sam Brown..."
