Stories of Missionary Work among Cree and Salteaux Indians

Summary "On the Indian Trail, Stories of Missionary Work among Cree and Saulteaux Indians" by Reverend Egerton Ryerson Young is a collection of narratives detailing the author's experiences as a missionary among Indigenous peoples in Canada, written in the late 19th century. The book offers glimpses into the lives of Cree and Saulteaux Indians, focusing on the struggles, successes, and transformative nature of missionary work. Young recounts his travels and the various encounters with these communities, highlighting themes of faith, perseverance, and cultural interactions. The opening of the book introduces Young's commitment to his missionary work as he embarks on a prairie trail in 1868 with his wife and other missionaries. They are determined to spread the Gospel to remote Indigenous communities, navigating both physical and social challenges along the way. Young reflects on the romanticism of early missionary work contrasted with the encroaching civilization, detailing their journey through treacherous conditions and their reliance on faith and prayer. His vivid descriptions set the stage for the adventures, obstacles, and unique interactions with both the natural world and the Indigenous peoples they encountered on their mission.
