Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. "The first full-length study of the career of the controversial missionary William Duncan. An unordained Anglican minister, he was sent to British Columbia by the Church Missionary Society of England in 1857 to work among the Tsimshian Indians at Fort Simpson. After five years he left to establish Metlakatla but, after disputes with various governmental officials, moved this community north to Annette Island, near Ketchikan. He was an outspoken advocate of Indian rights, particularly land ownership, when that was not a popular cause among the land-seeking white population." - dust jacket. 341 pages. Bibliography. Index.
