Morice, OMI, casts new lights on his motives and actions. Extraordinarily vain and egotistical, Morice was obsessed with gaining power and recognition as a missionary, explorer, and Indian expert. With his native intelligence and boundless energy and determination, he built a veritable kingdom for himself in northern B.C. However, his rebellious and erratic behaviour finally led to a conflict with his superiors, as David Mulhall points out in this fascinating account of a very atypical Oblate missionary.MissionariesBritish ColumbiaBiographyCarrier IndiansMissionsIndians of North AmericaMissionsBritish ColumbiaMissionariesCarrier IndiansMissions.Indians of North AmericaMissions266/.2/0924Mulhall David1574229MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780683203321Will to power3850356UNINA
