VINTAGESTAN BOOKS Title: By Canoe and Dog Train among the Cree and Salteaux Indians by Egerton Ryerson Young Summary: By Canoe and Dog-Train Among the Cree and Salteaux Indians recounts the experiences of Egerton Ryerson Young, a Methodist missionary who travelled through Indigenous communities in what is now western and northern Canada during the nineteenth century. Young describes journeys by canoe along rivers and lakes in summer and by dog-sled in winter. His account portrays the challenges of travelling through remote landscapes, including severe cold, deep snow, difficult waterways and the practical demands of survival in the Canadian wilderness. Alongside these travel adventures, Young describes encounters with Cree and Saulteaux communities, their homes, customs, hunting and fishing practices, and relationships with the natural environment. He also recounts his efforts to establish Christian missions and communicate Methodist teachings to Indigenous people. Author: Egerton Ryerson Young Publisher: Charles H. Kelley.
