Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Vancouver Island and Its Missions, 1874-1900 These reminiscences were not written for publication. I had kept a journal of my personal use - hæc olim meminisse juvabit - and also for the benefit of priests who in the course of time would follow me in the same field of labor. As I was sent out by Bishop Christie, D.D. of the diocese of Vancouver Island, now Archbishop of Oregon, to take up a collection for the needs of our Indian work, the editor of the Messenger of the Sacred Heart proposed to publish the "Reminiscences," so as to attract the attention of his numerous readers and facilitate my work of collecting; and as his proposition was accompanied by a generous remuneration I succumbed to a very strong temptation. The reader will notice at once many defects and some misspelled Indian names of places with which the editor was naturally unfamiliar and which the writer had not a chance to correct in the proofs. The correct terms are printed below in a list of Errata. I hope to issue the "Reminiscences" in a different form in the course of time, and also to add several chapters of ancient historical facts about this unknown coast and people. Meanwhile I send a copy of them as they now read to old and new friends. Those who have neither the taste nor leisure to read them in extenso will please cast a glance at the closing chapter ;and after doing so will put their hands into their purse and send a contribution to the needs of our missionary labors.
