(The state had dissolved term limits for the governorship, and he had no intention of relinquishing hold on power.) His advisors were searching all they could find on the ancient prophecy before they could be convened. Their research pointed to Chickasaw as the likeliest birthplace for the child, and they set before Adler the prophetic text pointing there:
Hail Chickasaw of Catawpa, ignored among territories and despised by the powerful!
There is more to you than meets the eye! The Coming One ascends from your byways and alleys.
Born in dishonor from the shadows of your walls, he rises to reign in greatness.
He directs my people, feeding, guiding, and keeping them from ...
