In this eyewitness account, an Anglican mission unfolds among Indigenous communities along the Metlahkatlah and Naas rivers. The narrative follows bishops and missionaries as they baptize hundreds, build a church, and work to combine faith with native industry and village life, all while navigating cultural tension and the promise of a new community.
- See careful descriptions of baptismal ceremonies, candid discussions about converts, and decisions that shape mission policy.
- Watch the daily life of a mission: from village gatherings and catechism to the planning of a new church and workshops.
- Learn how trade, craft, and schooling are used to support spiritual aims without eroding local traditions.
- Follow interactions with chiefs, medicine-men, and families as faith and culture meet on the riverfront.
Ideal for readers interested in historical missionary efforts, indigenous encounters, and 19th‑century church expansion.
