Item description from seller

First edition. Illustrations, including several after drawings by Santee student Reuben Dorian. 70pp. 12mo. "Mother planned to publish this booklet several years befiore her death. The publication was postponed with the expectation of making it more pretentious. It would have been a great pleasure to her to have seen her interesting story of the beginning of our Santee Indian mission school in print. Tho it is not now done as well as she would have it, we are sending it our from our school press prematurely because we feel that for her sake it should bot be longer delayed" (printed note by Frederick B. Riggs following the title). Founded in 1870 by Congregational minister Alfred Riggs and his wife Mary Riggs (the author), the primary purpose of the school was to provide training and education to members of the Santee Sioux Tribe who had been exiled from their ancestral home in Minnesota following the Sioux uprising of 1862. Illustrations, including several after drawings by Santee student Reuben Dorian. 70pp. 12mo.
