Algonquin Indian Tales - Paperback

Egerton Ryerson Young was a teacher, pastor, author, and a brave missionary to remote Canadian Indians. Young's mother died in 1842, and consequently he was raised by his stepmother, Maria Farley. After a brief stint as a school teacher, Young was ordained and called to a pastorate of the First Methodist Church in Hamilton. In 1868, however, he was invited to become a missionary to the natives of Rupert's Land. After praying over this with his new wife, Elizabeth, he asked her what she thought about this call. "I think it is from God and we will go," was her reply. What happens next is the compelling story of this book.
