Looking at the map of North America, a little inland from the coast
of Labrador, you will find Hudson's Bay, and in the south-west
corner, at the mouth of the Moose River, Moose Fort. Here is the
residence of the deputy governor and his subordinate officers; a
number of people are anxiously looking out; they are expecting the
one ship that comes to them in the course of the year. A small
vessel lying a little way out to sea has raised the long-looked-for
signal, and rejoicing is the order of the day." On June 6, 1851,
Reverend John Horden (1828-1893) embarked on a journey across the
Atlantic to take his post as First Bishop of Moosonee (in today's
Ontario, Canada), which he was to hold for forty-two years. This
book is largely comprised from the correspondence that the
missionary took up with the author Beatrice Batty. Having "the pen
of a ready writer," Horden vividly describes the country, the
people, their ways and their language, which he eagerly learned and
used in his sermons to the natives."
