In The Wake Of The War Canoe is a book written by W. H. Collison and published in 1915. The book is a memoir of Collison's experiences as a missionary in the Pacific Northwest during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The focus of the book is on the indigenous peoples of the region, particularly the Tsimshian and Haida nations, and their culture and traditions. Collison describes the impact of European colonization on these peoples and their way of life, including the arrival of Christian missionaries like himself. He also shares stories of his interactions with the native peoples, including his travels in a war canoe with a Tsimshian chief. The book provides a unique perspective on the history and culture of the Pacific Northwest and is a valuable resource for those interested in the region's indigenous peoples and their experiences during the colonial period.A Stirring Record Of Forty Years������� Successful Labor, Peril And Adventure Amongst The Savage Indian Tribes Of The Pacific Coast, And The Piratical Head-Hunting Haidas Of The Queen Charlotte Islands, B.C.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
