nit n it know ii ing ng c whither wa we went tracked the prairies pran ies in in search of a home but by the overruling hand of providence were we led in safety to our mountainous home in iia the midst of a poor degraded nation of indians win looked upon us witha with a bealus eye our all was in our wagons the countr country y was untried mountaineers who had lived here told us we could not raise an ear of grain andee in deel 1 so confident were lethey they that they offered 1 for the first ur tear of corn that could be raised here yet in the midst of these discouraging scenes they went to work and alid when toe the I 1 ground was prepared the seeds put in jn in S sects innumerable came down from th mountain 5 to destroy the grain but a devourer lohrei was i 1 and while the crickets woud have swept every gri green n thing r before them beh id the gulls chui came e an and d I 1 labored bored 0 incessantly from the suns first rays on the M mountain tops till she gilded the western horizon eating the crickets keti and yomi vomiting tinn 1 this we regarded as the same hand 0 of f providence that had mercifully encircled us al ail the time but amid all this you can discover we have arisen to our present enjoy ments while we have been living not know I 1 I 1 ing the moment the war whoop would be sounded in our ears and we called caled to aims to defend our wives and children
