Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Toronto: William Briggs, 1907. FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING. Original cloth. 243 pages. Illustrated with photographs. Good+. Front hinge just the very slightest bit cracked but tight binding; clean pages; moderate wear. "The author, a Methodist Missionary, arrived at Nanaimo (Vancouver I…sland) in 1862, taking charge of the mission school there. He traveled for many years all over Vancouver Island, across to the mainland, through the Fraser River and Chilliwack valleys doing mission work. He was the first protestant to carry the Gospel among the heathen Indians of the Thompson River country. His account of the impact of the miners upon the customs and manners of the Indians is most interesting."--Decker. Very scarce work on the Native Americans on Vancouver Island and elsewhere in British Columbia. SEE OUR OTHER LISTINGS FOR MORE INTERESTING COLLECTIBLE BOOKS.
