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. 606 $aMissionaries$zBritish Columbia$vBiography 606 $aCarrier Indians$xMissions 606 $aIndians of North America$xMissions$zBritish Columbia 615 0$aMissionaries 615 0$aCarrier Indians$xMissions. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xMissions 676 $a266/.2/0924 700 $aMulhall$b David$01574229 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780683203321 996 $aWill to power$93850356 997 $aUNINA
