The author discusses the obstacles faced by the missionaries, such as language barriers, cultural differences, and resistance from tribal leaders.Throughout the book, Loskiel provides firsthand accounts of the interactions between the missionaries and the Native Americans, including descriptions of the religious ceremonies and practices of the tribes.
