Publisher's Synopsis
The Apostle of the North: Reverend James Evans (1899) is a book written by Egerton R. Young that chronicles the life and work of James Evans, a pioneering Methodist missionary who brought Christianity to the indigenous people of Canada's western frontier in the mid-19th century. The book provides a detailed account of Evans' upbringing and education in England, his journey to Canada, and his tireless efforts to learn the Cree language and translate the Bible into their language. The book also explores Evans' interactions with the Cree people, his struggles to establish a church and school system, and his eventual death at a young age. Through vivid descriptions and anecdotes, the book paints a portrait of a man of great faith and determination who dedicated his life to spreading the gospel and improving the lives of the people he served.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
