Evans believed that literacy was essential for the spiritual and social well-being of native peoples, and spent years working on his syllabic system. John Maclean's biography traces the fascinating life of this visionary figure, and sheds light on the history of indigenous language and culture in Canada.

Book Description
Excerpt from James Evans: Inventor of the Syllabic System of the Cree Language N orth-west, but it came not. Much thought upon our negligence in not doing something to remind the Christian public of the heroism of a brave Canadian Missionary, caused me to assume the responsibility, although other minds and hearts could have done better in inditing a life so full of devotion and courage. In the midst of other duties these pages have been written, a few at a time, with repeated interruptions. I hope that all the imperfections will be overlooked in the sincere desire to do something that may prove helpful to young and old, and to discharge a duty incumbent upon all friends of Canadian Missions.
