Beschreibung
Embark on a journey through the untamed landscapes of Western Canada with Reverend John McDougall, a pioneering missionary whose life unfolded against the backdrop of the Canadian frontier. "The Complete Works of John McDougall" offers a rich tapestry of real-life tales and adventures, spanning the transformative period from the 1840s to the 1870s. In "Forest, Lake and Prairie," McDougall paints a vivid picture of two decades spent navigating the challenges and triumphs of frontier life in Western Canada. "Saddle, Sled and Snowshoe" delves into the pioneering spirit on the Saskatchewan during the tumultuous 1860s, while "Pathfinding on Plain and Prairie" explores stirring scenes of life in the Canadian Northwest. The narrative continues with "In the Days of the Red River Rebellion," offering a glimpse into the life and adventures during the turbulent period of 1868 to 1872. McDougall's experiences on Western trails in the early 1870s unfold in "On Western Trails in the Early Seventies," showcasing the resilience of frontier pioneer life. Meet the legendary "Wa-pee Moos-tooch" or "White Buffalo," The Hero of a Hundred Battles, in a captivating tale set in Canada's Great West during the early years of the last century. "Rural Life in Canada" – McDougall's insights into rural life are eloquently shared in a series of lectures that explore the opportunities and challenges of Canadian rural society. The collection concludes with "George Millward McDougall," a heartfelt biography honoring the pioneer, patriot, and missionary—John McDougall's father. Through McDougall's words, readers are transported to an era where courage, faith, and adventure shaped the very fabric of Western Canada's pioneer landscape.
