Crosby's letters to her mother, 1874-81, provide the core source as Anishinaabe and member of the M'Chigeeng First Nation, Hare (language and literacy education, U. of British Columbia) and Barman, a veteran historian of British Columbia, examine the mission she and her husband Thomas ran on the northern coast of British Columbia. Information about her subsequent life as a missionary wife are drawn from her public letters to Methodist missionary groups. By the time they left in 1897, she was convinced that her good intentions had gone awry. Distributed in the US by University of Washington Press.
