Twentyfouryearold Edmund F. Ely, a divinity student from Albany, New York, gave up his preparation for the ministry in 1833 to become a missionary and teacher among the Ojibwe of Lake Superior. During the next sixteen years, Ely lived, taught, and preached among the Ojibwe, keeping a journal of his daytoday experiences as well as recording ethnographic information about the Ojibwe. From recording his frustrations over the Ojibwe's rejection of Christianity to describing hunting and fishing techniques he learned from his Ojibwe neighbors, Elys unique and rich record provides unprecedented insight into early nineteenthcentury Ojibwe life and Ojibwemissionary relations. Theresa M. Schenck draws on a broad array of secondary sources to contextualize Elys journals for historians, anthropologists, linguists, literary scholars, and the Ojibwe themselves, highlighting the journals relevance and importance for understanding the Ojibwe of this era.
