By David Mulhall

This study of British Columbia's most famous missionary, FatherA.G. Morice, OMI, casts new lights on his motives and actions.Extraordinarily vain and egotistical, Morice was obsessed with gainingpower and recognition as a missionary, explorer, and Indian expert.With his native intelligence and boundless energy and determination, hebuilt a veritable kingdom for himself in northern B.C. However, hisrebellious and erratic behaviour finally led to a conflict with hissuperiors, as David Mulhall points out in this fascinating account of avery atypical Oblate missionary.
