The book tells the story of James Evans, a Methodist missionary who lived in Canada during the 19th century.

The book explores Evans' life and work, detailing his experiences as a missionary and his efforts to learn and understand the Cree language. It also examines the social and political context in which Evans lived, including the relationships between Indigenous peoples and European settlers in Canada during the 19th century. Throughout the book, McLean provides historical context and analysis, drawing on primary sources such as Evans' letters and diaries. The book also includes photographs and illustrations that help to bring Evans' story to life.
