Summary:

"Across the Prairie in a Motor Caravan" by F.H. Eva Hasell is a travelogue written in the early 20th century. This narrative documents a journey made by two Englishwomen on a 3,000-mile tour across the Canadian prairie, primarily focused on the theme of religious education. The book likely reflects the partnership between Hasell and her fellow traveler, exploring the challenges they faced while promoting spiritual teachings in the isolated areas they visited. The opening portion of the book describes the motivations behind the journey, as well as the preparatory steps taken before setting off. It begins with a historical context about the Qu'Appelle diocese in Saskatchewan and the spiritual needs of the settlers in Western Canada, emphasizing the lack of religious education among children. Hasell recounts her recruitment as part of a mission to establish Sunday Schools in remote areas and details the logistical challenges involved in acquiring a motor caravan to travel efficiently across the rugged prairie landscape. Through vivid descriptions, the author paints a picture of the rich but harsh environment of the prairie and introduces the reader to the broader spiritual mission that lies ahead in her adventure.
