About This Book

The author recounts decades of missionary activity among the Ojebway communities of the Lake Superior and Algoma region, describing the founding and operation of mission schools and homes, pastoral visits, baptisms, and efforts to teach Christian instruction. He narrates journeys to remote reserves, encounters with local chiefs and families, struggles with supply shortages, cultural resistance, illness and death, a destructive fire and subsequent rebuilding, and the daily realities of living in wilderness settings. Interwoven are reflections on learning the people, adapting methods of education and worship, and the emotional challenges of ministering amid hope, setbacks, and gradual change.
