The Autobiography Of Rev. Alvin Torry: First Missionary To The Six Nations And The Northwestern Tribes Of British North America (1864) is a historical account written by Alvin Torry himself. The book details Torry's experiences as a missionary in Canada during the early 19th century. Torry was the first missionary to the Six Nations and the Northwestern Tribes of British North America, and his memoir provides a unique perspective on the cultural and religious interactions between Native American tribes and European settlers during this time period.The book begins with Torry's early life in Connecticut and his decision to become a missionary. Torry then details his journey to Canada and his experiences with various Native American tribes, including the Mohawk, Oneida, and Seneca nations. Torry's interactions with these tribes are described in detail, including his efforts to learn their languages and customs, and his attempts to convert them to Christianity.Throughout the book, Torry provides a firsthand account of the challenges and obstacles he faced as a missionary, including resistance from some Native American tribes and the difficulty of adapting to life in a foreign land. He also describes his interactions with other missionaries and government officials, and the political and social climate of Canada during this time period.Overall, the Autobiography Of Rev. Alvin Torry provides a fascinating insight into the early history of Christian missions in Canada, and the cultural and religious interactions between Native American tribes and European settlers during the early 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
