Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How the extraordinary career of one man—missionary, educator, explorer, statesman—changed the course of history on the untamed Arctic frontier... Originally published in 1960, Alaskan Apostle is a fascinating biography about Sheldon Jackson, a Presbyterian minister who founded schools in Alaska. He was regarded as “one of the most exciting and courageous men of all those who worked on the American frontier. The roles he played in Alaska and in the American West form an incredible chapter in the effort of the Church to keep pace with the developing nation. Jackson was man and missionary, government official and spiritual empire builder. He was responsible for saving the Alaskan Eskimos from extinction and for the founding of Alaska’s school system. He did more than any other person in the nineteenth century to inform the American nation about Alaska’s needs and people. His failure to accomplish all he hoped to do is, in large part, due to the disgraceful inaction of successive Congresses. Jackson was prepared to lay down his life as an apostle to Alaska, convinced that ‘if God be for us, who can be against us?’ His spiritual life and moral and physical courage are what churchmen need today if they hope to discharge their responsibilities to the total life of the nation.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Apostle of Alaska: The Story of William Duncan of Metlakahtla While touring in Southeastern Alaska, in 1903, I first heard of the remarkable story of Metlakahtla. When, in the following summer, the call of the North-land came upon me again, I hied myself to the beautiful village, to investigate what sounded like a veritable fairy tale. I was cordially received and entertained by Mr. William Duncan, and spent a most pleasant summer with him and his people. It was then I conceived the idea of becoming the historian of this interesting little nation, and the biographer of their wonderful leader. With this object in view, I have ever since spent all my vacation months in the little village, and, during the summer just past (1908), I wrote this book under the inspiring sky of Metlakahtla. During these summer months I have had the unspeakable pleasure, day after day, to listen to the interesting table-talks of Mr. Duncan, to witness him in his own inimitable dramatic style unrolling word-painting after word-painting of the many interesting incidents of his life-work and thrilling experiences. After each one of these interesting talks, I made it a point to write down his narrative, as nearly as possible in the identical language used by him, while everything he had said was still fresh in my memory.

This is largely due to the missionary efforts of one man, St. Innocent of Alaska. He converted and baptized thousands of people into the Christian faith.

Download or read book Seventeen Years in Alaska written by Albin Johnson and published by University of Alaska Press. This book was released on 2014-04-15 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Swedish missionary Albin Johnson arrived in Alaska just before the turn of the twentieth century, thousands of miles from home and with just two weeks’ worth of English classes under his belt. While he intended to work among the Tlingit tribes of Yakutat, he found himself in a wave of foreign arrivals as migrants poured into Alaska seeking economic opportunities and the chance at a different life. While Johnson came with pious intentions, others imposed Western values and vices, leaving disease and devastation in their wake. Seventeen Years in Alaska is Johnson’s eyewitness account of this tumultuous time. It is a captivating narrative of an ancient people facing rapid change and of the missionaries working to stem a corrupting tide. His journals offer a candid look at the beliefs and lives of missionaries, and they ultimately reveal the profound effect that he and other missionaries had on the Tlingit. Tracing nearly two decades of spiritual hopes and earthbound failures, Johnson’s memoir is a fascinating portrait of a rapidly changing world in one of the most far-flung areas of the globe.
