She says it was not unusual for Church visitors, drummers, or peddlers to call at the Dudley Leavitt home, but when "An Outsider" came wearing a suit and a tie on a week day, she wondered what he wanted in Bunkerville. The "Outsider" was representing a University where people of Indian decent could get a free education. No one seemed interested in the education offer. He left and went to Moapa. Mrs. Brooks thought, "He stayed at our home and came to know quite a bit about me. I knew nothing about him, not even his name." But because of his visit Juanita Brooks was determined to see some of the Valley beyond the desert. She would go to college. "All experience is an arch wherethro gleams that untrav-eled untrav-eled world whose margin fades forever and forever when I move. You know That untrav-elled untrav-elled world'," said Mrs. Brooks. |
