Hymns and prayers: for the private devotions of the Slave Indians of McKenzie's River

Kirkby, William West, 1827- · 1862 · New York, Rennie, Shea & Lindsay · 2 pictures

A missionary hymnal and prayer book of 1862, published in New York by Rennie, Shea & Lindsay and written by William West Kirkby for the Slave Indians of McKenzie's River, printed in the Etchareottine language. The two wood-engraved pictures show a priest in vestments with Dene people beside tipis, and a mission church with a steeple and rows of tents on a riverbank, which a designer might use for scenes of frontier mission life and small settlements seen across water.
