"By Canoe and Dog Train Among The Cree and Salteaux Indians" by Egerton Ryerson Young is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This narrative chronicles the author's experiences as a missionary among the Cree and Salteaux Indian tribes in North America, focusing on his journey from Hamilton to the remote northern territories. The work highlights themes of adventure, faith, cultural encounters, and the transformative power of Christianity as it relates to Indigenous communities. The opening of the book introduces Reverend Egerton R. Young, who, after recently getting married, receives a summons to become a missionary in the Indian territories. Faced with this call, Young and his wife reflect on their decision, ultimately feeling compelled to embark on what promises to be an arduous yet meaningful journey. As they prepare for their departure, the couple reflects on their roles and the implications of their decision, drawing support from their community and fellow ministers. This sets the stage for their adventurous trek across various landscapes, encountering both challenges and the warmth of local tribes while sharing their faith, which forms the backbone of Young's subsequent experiences.
