Historical noteMr. Clarke came out from England in 1877 to be a missionary in the Diocese of Saskatchewan and was sent to the Eagle Hills Reserve. He subsequently became ordained, was Principal of the Industrial School at Battleford 1883-1894, went as missionary in the Carrot River Valley in 1899 and eventually to Melfort, where he remained as Anglican minister and Rural Dean of the Prince Albert Diocese until his retirement in 1927.
Scope and contentThis is Thomas Clarke's autobiography much of which deals with his experiences as a missionary (see Historical Note). Also includes two pages that are possibly part of Clarke's first report of 1882, dealing with the Fort Pitt area.
