Product Description

This is a very interesting documentation of the life-style of the author, who was a missionary in the wild area on Northern Canada during the second half of the nineteenth century. He worked with the native peoples of that area, and had to visit his parishioners regularly by travelling great distances to reach them. During the summer months he would have to travel by river, using canoes, and during the winter he would travel by dog-train. This was simply his way of life, and was the only way possible with which to accomplish the work he had to do.

Although he tells us much about these two methods of travelling, we also learn about the people he worked with, especially his many converts. All of this is very interesting and very authentic. If you are at all interested in that period of Canada's history this is a book you ought to read.
