Publisher's Synopsis
Pathfinding on Plain and Prairie: Stirring Scenes of Life in the Canadian Northwest is a book written by John McDougall in 1898. The book is a memoir of McDougall's experiences as a missionary in the Canadian Northwest during the late 19th century. McDougall was a Presbyterian minister who traveled extensively throughout the Canadian Northwest, which at the time was a vast and sparsely populated region. He encountered many challenges during his travels, including harsh weather conditions, hostile Indigenous peoples, and difficult terrain. Despite these challenges, McDougall was committed to his mission of bringing Christianity to the region. He established several missions and schools, and worked to improve the lives of the Indigenous peoples he encountered. The book is a fascinating account of life in the Canadian Northwest during a time of great change. McDougall's writing is vivid and engaging, and his descriptions of the landscapes, people, and cultures he encountered are both informative and entertaining. Pathfinding on Plain and Prairie offers a unique perspective on Canadian history, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Canadian Northwest or the role of religion in Canadian society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
