What is the aim or goal of your writing:
She often related very interesting stories of the pioneer days. Sometimes of the few Indians then still to be seen in this part of the country, and especially of the notorious Johnny Green who boasted he had scalped 9 children and intended getting the 100th before he died. She and her sister were terribly afraid of him, and often in concealing themselves hid in the very most dangerous places imaginable, thinking like the ostrich if their heads were out of sight they were safe. However, no harm ever befell them from this source.
