"One of the most thrilling narratives of missionary life and adventure ever published.They reveal the hardships of missionary life in a manner little understood by stay-at-home folks." -Birmingham Daily Gazette "Young and old will read this amazing story with delight. Our age is not given over to perdition while it can show missionaries like Egerton Young. His heroic journeys through the snow, drawn by dogs, are described in a way which will secure the attention of all. Robinson Crusoe himself can scarcely beat Egerton Young; and then the story is true. Here are reader can find material for a missionary address which will traverse entirely new ground." -Sword and Trowel "This hard-working missionary has made a book of the material given in his lectures on his work in the Northwestern portion of the United States.

Incidentally the United States policy in governing the Indians is described and criticized. These lectures were last year printed as a series of papers in the New York Ledger." -Publishers Weekly "Rev. Mr. Young in his work 'By Canoe and Dog Train,' says that he surprised the missionary secretaries by his 'unique request' for the large dogs, but says he financially secured them, and then says: 'I found by years of experience that the St. Bernard and Newfoundland dogs had all the good qualities, and none of the defects, of the Esquimaux. By kindness and firmness they were easily broken in, and then a whip was only an ornamental appendage of the driver's picturesque costume. Of these splendid dogs I often had in my possession, counting old and young, as many as twenty at a time.

The largest and best of them all was Jack, a noble St. Bernard. He was black as jet, and stood over thirty-three inches high at his fore shoulder. When in good working trim, he weighed about a hundred and sixty pounds. He had no equal in all that northern land. Several times he saved my life, as we shall see further on. No whip ever ruffled his glossy coat; no danger ever deterred him from his work, when he with his marvelous intelligence once got to know what was expected of him. No blizzard storm, no matter how fickle and changeful, could lead him off from the desired camping place, even if the courage of other dogs failed them, and even though the guides gave up in despair.

'" Forest and Stream "No one who wishes a clear idea of the needs and opportunities of the Indian can afford not to read it." -The Independent "He has a happy and often amusingly quaint way of describing the incidents and surroundings of frontier life. His cheerful, almost merry, temper, while recounting the devices resorted to in an enduring or mastering privations and dangers of the most disheartening character, are stimulating and instructive to the last degree.' -The Watchman "No stories are more suggestive than those Mr. Egerton R. Young tells of his own experiences. The teacher can find a mine of story material in his books." -The Church School Journal.
