Floyd Maytubby was appointed Governor of the Chickasaw Nation in 1939; at a time when the United States was still in the grasp of the Great Depression as well into the throws of World War. He attempted to sell the last of the unallotted lands, but there was little, if any, interest in the coal and asphalt lands from the government or private sector. As a possible additional term approached, a grass roots group pushed for self rule with Congress throughout 1961. Maytubby died on February 24th, 1963, his gubernatorial papers were never found.
"Hugh" Maytubby, Floyd's uncle, served out the rest of the term of governor after Floyd's passing.
