About This Book

A travel memoir records a 3,000-mile motor caravan across the Canadian prairie undertaken to promote religious education, blending practical travel narrative with sketches of prairie towns, farm life, railway missions, Indigenous reserves, and a camping trip in the Rockies. It narrates preparations and daily challenges—sandstorms, mechanical troubles, and mud holes—along with encounters at schools, churches, and mission stations, and offers reflections on settlers' spiritual and social needs, religious instruction, and the mixture of cultures on the frontier.
