"To let a sad thought or a bad one get into your mind is as dangerous as letting a scarlet fever germ get into your body. If you let it stay there after it has got in you may never get over it as long as you live."

Wonderful story about how a love of nature and a positive mind set can change your perspective and reality. Definitely a product of its time with a lot of anti-Indian racism.
