Excerpt from The Californian Crusoe: Or, the Lost Treasure Found; A Tale of Mormonism
I have little recollection of my mother, who died before I had completed my fourth year. A brother and a sister, both younger than myself, partook with me of the affectionate care of our surviving parent, and in due time we were sent to a parochial school, in which we acquired the rudiments of a useful education. On Sundays we regularly attended divine service in the venerable parish church, in which our forefathers had worshipped during many generations. Upon three or four old tombstones, half sunk in the earth and overgrown with moss, might still be deciphered the name of Richards.
