There was a Native American (Algonquin) trickster-hero named Wisakedjak, and over time that name became mis-interpreted as "Whiskey Jack" as he became an American tall-tale hero, but more fakelore than fakelore. Find out more at Wikipedia: Fakelore.
The book is available at Hathi Trust (I have not checked for other online sources).
