This book tells the story of James Evans, a nineteenth-century Methodist missionary who developed a new system of writing the Cree language. Evans believed that literacy was essential for the spiritual and social well-being of native peoples, and spent years working on his syllabic system. John Maclean's biography traces the fascinating life of this visionary figure, and sheds light on the history of indigenous language and culture in Canada.
