Wigwam Neosho was a trading post from 1829–33, named and operated by Sam Houston, Ex-Gov. of Tennessee and future president of the Republic of Texas. Houston was called Colonneh (The Raven) by his Cherokee friends. American author Washington Irving visited Houston in 1832 as he made notes for his book, A Tour of the Prairies, now an Oklahoma classic.
