The Fall of Torngak, Or, the Moravian Mission On the Coast of Labrador

Beschreibung

In the late 18th century, the Moravian Church established a mission on the coast of Labrador, in what is now Canada. This book tells the story of that mission, and its ultimate demise in the face of harsh weather and hostile indigenous peoples. Drawing on firsthand accounts and historical records, the author provides a detailed and engaging narrative of the mission, its successes and failures, and its impact on the region.
