E-text prepared by Roger Frank, Darleen Dove, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net) "The Bridge of the Gods" by Frederic Homer Balch is a historical romance written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around the Native American tribes of Oregon and their cultural and societal dynamics, framing a rich tapestry of life interwoven with legend and history. The story begins with Reverend Cecil Grey, a passionate minister determined to bring Christianity to the indigenous peoples, facing the dual struggles of his ambitions and the prejudices of his community. At the start of the book, the opening chapters introduce us to Reverend Cecil Grey during a Sabbath service in New England, where he passionately pleads for missionary efforts among the Native American tribes who linger in darkness, a message that is met with resistance and discomfort from his congregants. Soon after, we learn about his personal life and his marriage to Ruth, who does not share his fervor for evangelism, creating a tension in their relationship. Following Ruth's tragic passing, Cecil experiences profound sorrow, ultimately leading him to feel a calling towards the Indian tribes of Oregon, convinced that he has a divine mission to fulfill. As he embarks on this journey, he wrestles with his emotions and fate against the backdrop of the wild landscapes and cultural clashes of the era.
