By Canoe and Dog Train is a memoir written by Egerton Ryerson Young, a Canadian missionary who worked among the indigenous people of Northern Ontario in the late 19th century. The book recounts his experiences traveling by canoe and dog sled through the wilderness to reach remote communities, and his interactions with the Ojibwa and Cree people who lived there.Young describes the challenges of traveling in the harsh northern climate, including navigating treacherous rapids, dealing with mosquitoes and black flies, and surviving extreme cold. He also shares his encounters with wild animals, such as bears and wolves, and his efforts to build relationships with the indigenous people he met.Throughout the book, Young reflects on his Christian faith and the role it played in his work as a missionary. He describes his efforts to translate the Bible into the Ojibwa language and his attempts to reconcile traditional indigenous beliefs with Christianity.By Canoe and Dog Train provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of a pioneering missionary and the cultures and landscapes of Northern Ontario in the late 19th century.Every Sunday evening I went over to the Fort, by canoe in summer, and dog-train in winter, and held service there. A little chapel had been specially fitted up for these evening services. Another service was also held in the church at the Mission by the Indians themselves. There were among them several who could preach very acceptable sermons, and others who, with a burning eloquence, could tell, like Paul, the story of their own conversion, and beseech others to be likewise reconciled to God.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
