Synopsis

A Thousand Miles from a Post Office is a first‑hand account of faith, travel, and survival on Hudson’s Bay.

This memoir follows a missionary’s long voyage from London to the far north, a perilous crossing of ice and seas, and years of work among Eskimo and Indigenous communities along the Bay. It blends vivid travel scenes with reflections on culture, hardship, and endurance in a remote, challenging landscape.

The narrative covers ocean crossings, shipboard crises, and the daily realities of building a church and sustaining a mission in a harsh climate. It offers glimpses into the people, the land, and the spirit of exploration that shaped life in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
  • Experience a sea voyage that tests seamanship and resolve
  • Follow missions and daily life in remote trading posts
  • See how a church and community take root in the North
  • Meet Cree and Chipewyan communities through personal observation
Ideal for readers of adventure memoirs, travel writing, and religious history, especially those curious about life in Hudson’s Bay country.
