The book The Apostle of the North: Reverend James Evans written by Egerton R. Young in 1899 is a biography of the life and work of Reverend James Evans, a Methodist missionary who played a significant role in the spread of Christianity among the indigenous people of Canada during the 19th century. The book chronicles Evans' journey from his childhood in England to his arrival in Canada in 1833, where he began his mission work among the Ojibwa people in the Red River region. The book describes Evans' struggles to learn the Ojibwa language and his efforts to translate the Bible into the language of the indigenous people. It also highlights his innovative use of a syllabic writing system that he developed to help the Ojibwa people learn to read and write in their own language. The book covers Evans' travels throughout Canada and his establishment of missions in various regions, including Norway House, Lake Winnipeg, and the Saskatchewan River. It details his interactions with other missionaries, the challenges he faced in his work, and his dedication to spreading the gospel to the indigenous people. Overall, The Apostle of the North: Reverend James Evans is a comprehensive and engaging biography that sheds light on the life and work of an important figure in Canadian history. It provides insight into the challenges and triumphs of early Christian missionaries in Canada and their impact on the indigenous people of the region.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
