About the Book :- The contents of the present volume are in a large measure the outcome of a long-continued personal correspondence with the late Bishop of Moosonee. As Editor of the Coral Magazine the author received from him many appeals for aid in the various departments of his work. He asked for graphic descriptions of the surroundings; and it does not go in vain. Questions concerning the daily life of himself and those about him, the food and habits of the people, modes of travel, dress, climate, products, seasons, and special incidents were duly answered and fully entered into. The bishop had the pen of a ready writer, and all that he wrote was graphic in the extreme. He was, however, modestly unaware of his talent in this respect, until his eyes were opened to the fact by the well-deserved appreciation of the letters. The bulk of this book is made up of extracts from this correspondence, with just enough information supplied to give the reader a clear idea of the bishop’s life and work. It contains 21 chapters and 16 fine illustrations and a map. The book is immensely good for common readers.
