Autobiography of Rev. William Hamilton

Every old settler in Nebraska will remember Father Hamilton, early and so long a missionary among the western Indians. I solicited his biography for this report from his own pen. The following letter in response I feel would be marred if it were changed, even in the dotting of a single \u27i\u27 or the crossing of a \u27t.’” I therefore present it just as it came to me. DECATUR, BURT COUNTY, NEBRASKA, May 22nd, 188
