A keeper or guardian of historical records and memories.
Chapter VII
How he, alone, suspected, pursued, and sorely in need of assistance himself, was to render assistance to others, he did not know. He did not pause to consider. He put his faith in the overruling providence of God. "With God's aid," he said, "I will save them or sacrifice myself." As for fighting, should fighting prove necessary, his mind was made up.
