Books published by publisher S.W. Partridge

‘‘Indian Life in the Great North-West’ is one of several books written by the missionary, Egerton R. Young, which recounts his days among the North-American native people. As a missionary, Young’s stories in this book are mainly about bringing a few particular natives to Christianity. Although there is some insight into the lifestyle of the natives, very little relates to their homes, or land (which is what is now known as Southern Manitoba), or to the people themselves. The author’s genuine fondness for the people he is in contact with is apparent, yet it is somewhat overshadowed by, what appears to be, a real lack of understanding in regards to their own beliefs and lifestyle. With that in mind, it is an interesting look into the mind of a nineteenth century missionary, making it of great historical value.Many of the books offered by AlwaysWrite Ent. are provided exactly as the author presented them in their original format.
