At age 12 Elijah Nicholas Wilson ran away from his family. Fighting
off the constraints of his Mormon upbringing he found a new home
with a Shoshone Indian tribe. Under their guidance, particularly of
the Great Chief Washakie, he learned how to live and survive in the
wild lands of the far west. When Elijah turned fourteen, to prevent
reprisals against his tribe for his 'abduction, ' he returned to
his white family. He then worked as a Pony Express rider,
stagecoach driver, trapper, translator, hostler, Indian agent, and
whatever else was required to support himself and his family.
Elijah Wilson was known as 'Yagaiki' when among the Shoshones, and
in his later years as Uncle Nick when entertaining young children
with his adventurous exploits. The White Indian Boy is his story.
