This posthumous memoir recounts the adventures of Luther Schuetze, who from 1927 to 1938 took the Gospel to one of Canada's First Nations, the Anishinabe of Little Grand Rapids, Manitoba. Facing unfriendly shamans and a people riddled with disease and hunger, he performed surgical, dental, and obstetric services while preaching and living his message.
