Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from On the Indian Trail In the gray mists of early dawn, Ahwaha awakened from a strange dream. Bending over her, she had seen her Indian mother and heard her say, "Daughter, maybe you found riches and high position with your white friends, but you have forgotten your poor Indian mother. I loved and nursed you for a long time, Ahwaha, now I am sad because you have forgotten me." Ahwaha raised her slender body and sat upright upon her bed. "Riches and honor!" she sadly whispered, "Ah, no! dear mother. I found love that has caused my heart to bleed; I found sorrow and weakness and I have found my soul. I am going back to you, mother, and our people. Now I know that even Ahwaha has work to do. Dr. Martel many times said, ´Ahwaha, you are brave and strong.´ Yesterday I saw them place his ashes in the cold ground. Now I have only his kind words to sustain me." At that moment she recalled the little box which the doctor had given to her on the very night of his sudden, terrible illness. "Do not open the box, Ahwaha," he had said, until I am gone." Ahwaha knelt down before the little black trunk at the foot of her bed and reverently drew out the box from beneath piles of folded clothing. She felt that the doctor was close beside her. She lifted the cover and there lay a small white envelope addressed in his own hand - "To Ahwaha, who has been my comfort and support through hours of nameless agony." Great, hot tears fell over the little white envelope from the dark eyes of the Indian girl. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
