Wah Sash Kah Moqua - Or, Thirty-Three Years Among the Indians #220761

My early life was spent in Newton, Mass. My parents were in the middle walks of life, my father assisted in the building of the first railroad built in America, at Ballston Spa, N. Y., and later of the Boston 8: Worcester Road, now the Boston 8: Albany. My dear mother, who was a true Christian, early taught me about God and the love of the Blessed Saviour for little children; that He took the little ones up in His arms, put His hands upon their heads and blessed them, and in my little heart there came a love for one so holy and kind to the children. I remember I wished I could have been with those favored ones, thinking if He had put His hand upon my head I should never wish to do anything wrong.
