It presents the letters of Emma Crosby, wife of the well-known Methodist missionary Thomas Crosby, who came to Fort Simpson, near present-day Prince Rupert, in 1874 to set up a mission among the Tsimshian people. Emma Crosby's letters to family and friends in Ontario shed light on a critical era and bear witness to the contribution of missionary wives. They mirror the hardships and isolation she faced as well as her assumptions about the supremacy of Euro-Canadian society and of Christianity. They speak to her "good intentions" and to the factors that caused them to "go awry." The authors critically represent Emma's sincere convictions towards mission work and the running of the Crosby Girls' Home (later to become a residential school), while at the same time exposing them as a product of the times in which she lived. They also examine the roles of Native and mixed-race intermediaries who made possible the feats attributed to Thomas Crosby as a heroic male missionary persevering on his own against tremendous odds. This book is a valuable contribution to Canadian history and will appeal to readers in women's, Canadian, Native, and religious studies, as well as those interested in missiology in the Canadian West. 606 $aMethodist Church$xMissions$zBritish Columbia$zPort Simpson$xHistory 606 $aTsimshian Indians$xMissions$zBritish Columbia$xHistory 606 $aMissionaries' spouses$zCanada$vBiography 606 $aEglise methodiste$xMissions$zColombie-Britannique$zPort Simpson$xHistoire 606 $aTsimshian (Indiens)$xMissions$zColombie-Britannique$xHistoire 606 $aMissionnaires$xConjoints$zCanada$vBiographies 615 0$aMethodist Church$xMissions$xHistory. 615 0$aTsimshian Indians$xMissions$xHistory. 615 0$aMissionaries' spouses 615 6$aEglise methodiste$xMissions$xHistoire. 615 6$aTsimshian (Indiens)$xMissions$xHistoire. 615 6$aMissionnaires$xConjoints 676 $a266/.7092 676 $aB 700 $aHare$b Jan$f1965-$01696725 701 $aBarman$b Jean$f1939-$01610957 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825227103321 996 $aGood intentions gone awry$94076899 997 $aUNINA
