The curious region of the Nickajack known as "Cotaco," a word which may be a portmanteau of the French name "Cote de Coeur," or Coast of the Heart. The Nickajack was fought over by the Chicasaw, Shawnee and the Cherokee when mixed race traders brought firearms to the natives. These mixed race traders were known as the Metis by the French, and Mestee by the English.
