Light on the mountain

This is a true story about a missionary, Isabel Crawford, and her work among the Kiowa Indians at Saddle Mountain in SW Oklahoma. She loved the Indians and requested to be buried in their cemetery when she died. Her tombstone is there now, with the inscription as follows: ISABEL CRAWFORD 1864--1961 I WILL DWELL AMONG MINE OWN PEOPLE. Her story is very inspiring and I wish it would be made into a movie!

Wonderful true story

I have read this book, and founds it to be a very well written account of an inspiring true story. It is out of print now, but it should be put into a new printing so more people can read it. Our local libraries no longer have the book. One had a copy but it was a paperback and it literally wore out because so many readers checked it out.
