Robinson devotes one section to the
planting OF Christianity in this state,

hunter, who dw2lt along the Missouri
for years, beginning in 1923, and then
gives an account of the first religious
service in regular form ever held IN

believed to have crossed the James
river at Rondell in Brown county. Rev.

Indians and Rev. Mr.. Higgins led the
