Our great-grandmother was an amazing woman. And here, one hundred years later, we have her diary.
Take a trip to the past through the eyes of a teen-age girl, and marvel at how the world has changed -
and the many ways it has not.

February 17, 1913 - Monday


17 - An Indian, Dr. Eastman, formerly chief of the Sioux Tribe, but now a professor and lecturer, spoke to us in school to-day. He was not in native costume (as pictured above), but one must make allowance for artistic license. He spoke rather broken English, and my sole impression of his looks is a regular T. R. smile. I do beleive the man had 1000 teeth! but he was very interesting.

Overstayed Curfew fifteen minutes. Must make it up tomorrow.

beleive - sic

Dr. Eastman is most likely Charles Eastman. Visit wikipedia or World Wisdom for more information.
