"Youngblood of the Peace tells the true adventures of an Oblate priest who lived with Cree, Saulteaux and Beaver Indian people of BC and Alberta. It is a book rich with stories of the old ways, of the new ways, of ingenious and sometimes startling methods used by this Oblate priest to attract his parishioners to the churches he built in the North. Youngblood of the Peace is a journey, a story about a dwindling race. It is the story of the Peace, and of one of the pioneers who could never leave. A book that captures an era, a place, and a society that has become "lost in time.""--Author webpage.
