had used every effort to convert the whole of his tribe. Nor did he stop
here: he went to other tribes; and when he found his own influence was
not sufficient, he procured the assistance of white missionaries, whom
he supported and protected.

His example was followed by his former enemy Piomingo, whose young wife
and himself became industrious settlers--the greater number of their
tribe completely abandoning their old barbarous customs. The only regret
of Winnemak was that he and his people had not received these glorious
tidings in earlier days, before they had almost ceased to exist as a
people in the land where once their warriors were counted by thousands.

But I have been anticipating events. From several of the emigrant
trains which came by next season, we obtained not only such stores as we
required, but several useful hands; while many of the families, seeing
the fertility of the country, and the progress we had made, to say
nothing of the protection of the military post, resolved, instead of
incurring the dangers of a longer journey, to settle in our
neighbourhood.

The new house, as Uncle Jeff and Bartle intended, was far superior to
the old one, and although we hoped that we should never again be
attacked, yet it was built with an eye to defence, and was considered
almost as strong as the fort itself. Happily, however, we have never had
occasion to try its capabilities of withstanding a siege.

Fields were added to fields; the stock increased; and God prospering us
notwithstanding the heavy losses we had incurred, Uncle Jeff's farm
eventually became the most flourishing in the neighbourhood.
