This book was released on 1853 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Jacobs (1808-58) was the adopted name of Pahtahsega (literally, "he who comes shining," or "one who makes the world brighter"), an Ojibwa Indian who was an early convert to Christianity of the English Methodist missionary William Case. Born near Rice Lake in present-day southeastern Ontario, in 1842 Jacobs traveled to England where he was ordained as a Methodist minister. He worked for many years as a missionary in the vast region then known as Hudson's Bay Territory. Journal of the Reverend Peter Jacobs is his account of the journey that he took in May-October 1852 from his home in Rice Lake to the Hudson's Bay Company trading post of York Factory (present-day Manitoba) and back. Jacobs traveled the fur-traders' route, visiting the missions at Rossville and Oxford House. On his return journey, he nearly drowned in Lake Winnipeg, survived an early blizzard near Fort William (in present-day Thunder Bay, Ontario), and eventually made his way back to his wife and children in Rice Lake via steamer from Sault Sainte Marie to Detroit and from there to Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Toronto, and home. His journal (part of which he had to reconstruct from memory after losing his papers in Lake Winnipeg) provides a valuable description of the mission field, the great difficulties in winning native converts, and the perils of travel in this early period. The book contains two print portraits of Jacobs, one in Ojibwa clothing and another in Western dress, and a brief essay, "Peter Jacobs's History of Himself," in which he recounts his spiritual journey from belief in "the Great Being, the maker of all things" to his embrace of Christianity. It concludes with an account of the Wesleyan (Methodist) mission at Rossville in the Hudson's Bay Territory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The area between the Great Lakes and Lake Winnipeg, bounded on the north by the Hudson Bay lowlands, is sometimes known as the "Petit Nord." Providing a link between the cities of eastern Canada and the western interior, the Petit Nord was a critical communication and transportation hub for the North American fur trade for over 200 years.Although new diseases had first arrived in the New World in the 16th century, by the end of the 17th century shorter transoceanic travel time meant that a far greater number of diseases survived the journey from Europe and were still able to infect new communities. These acute, directly transmitted infectious diseases – including smallpox, influenza, and measles – would be responsible for a monumental loss of life and would forever transform North American Aboriginal communities.Historical geographer Paul Hackett meticulously traces the diffusion of these diseases from Europe through central Canada to the West. Significant trading gatherings at Sault Ste. Marie, the trade carried throughout the Petit Nord by Hudson Bay Company ships, and the travel nexus at the Red River Settlement, all provided prime breeding ground for the introduction, incubation and transmission of acute disease. Hackettís analysis of evidence in fur-trade journals and oral history, combined with his study of the diffusion behaviour and characteristics of specific diseases, yields a comprehensive picture of where, when, and how the staggering impact of these epidemics was felt.
