We had anticipated it with keenest interest, and Providence favored us. A delightful morning of the first week in August smiled on our programme, when our party of four persons was ready for the carriage ride from Pierre to the mission,—Rev. S. Norton, pastor of the Congregational Church of Pierre; Mr. J. Kimball, of Huron, Dakota, missionary of the American Sunday-school Union; Timothy Hudson, Esq.; and the writer, of Kalamazoo, Mich. The scenery for the first six miles, from the heights which border the Missouri River, was most charming. At our left, and beneath us, was the river and its narrow strip of foliage and bottom lands, having here and there a picturesque dotting of Indian tents; beyond that, westward turned the grass-covered hills; to our right were the boundless prairies, beautifully variegated with cultivated squares of green and golden grain and settlers’ homes. [Illustration: MISSION HOME, FORT SULLY.] An abrupt descent from such an outlook brought us to the valley beneath, through which the remaining eight miles of our ride lay. We had only fairly entered the valley when we began to see evidences of the faithful mission work which has here been done. For several miles along the river we were constantly passing the farms of mission Indians, where we saw established homes, quite as good as those of their white neighbors. We saw full-blooded Indians in civilized dress, riding their mowing-machines, raking their hay, and stacking their grain.
