George Millward McDougall: The Pioneer, Patriot And Missionary is a biographical account of the life and work of George Millward McDougall, a Canadian missionary who played a significant role in the spread of Christianity in Western Canada during the late 19th century. The book, written by John McDougall, George's brother, was first published in 1888 and provides a detailed and insightful look into the life of this remarkable individual.The book begins by tracing George's early life, from his birth in 1821 in Upper Canada to his upbringing in a devoutly religious family. It then follows his journey to the Western frontier, where he became a missionary and began working with the indigenous people of the region. George's work was not only focused on spreading Christianity but also on improving the lives of the indigenous people by providing education and healthcare.The book describes in detail the challenges that George faced in his work, including harsh weather conditions, disease, and resistance from some of the indigenous people. Despite these challenges, George persevered and was able to establish several missions throughout Western Canada, including the famous McDougall Stoney Mission.The book also provides a glimpse into George's personal life, including his marriage to Elizabeth Parker, who was also a missionary, and their family life. It also describes the impact that George's work had on the development of Western Canada and the role that he played in shaping the region's history.Overall, George Millward McDougall: The Pioneer, Patriot And Missionary is a fascinating and inspiring account of the life of a remarkable individual who dedicated his life to improving the lives of others through his work as a missionary.
