In 'In the Wake of the War Canoe', W.H. Collison chronicles over four decades of labor, peril, and adventure among the tribes of the Pacific Coast. From his pioneering missionary work on the Queen Charlotte Islands to his ventures on the Skeena River and South-Eastern Alaska, the author's firsthand experiences paint a vivid picture of a land teeming with ancient traditions and the ever-present danger of head-hunting Haidas. Through trials and triumphs, Collison's dedication to evangelism shines as he shares the transformative power of faith in an awe-inspiring, untamed frontier.
