Thirty years a missionary on the West Coast of Vancouver Island / Charles Moser and Dorothy Abraham

The file contains an edited copy of the typescript "Thirty years a missionary on the West Coast of Vancouver Island", probably made around 1959. The typescript contains an account of the experiences of Father Charles Moser, O.S.B., as a missionary stationed at the Clayoquot villages of Opitsat and Hesquiat between 1900 and 1930, based on his original diary. The manuscript was produced by Mrs. Dorothy Abraham, who also wrote the introduction to it. The editing appears to have been done by Father Moser and by Dorothy Abraham.

The file also contains introductory notes by Mrs. Abraham and two letters to her from Father Moser (dated 1949 and 1959), and a copy of a newspaper article about Father Moser written by Abraham in 1966. There is also a b&w portrait photograph of Father Moser, taken by the Drake Bros Studio, Silverton, Oregon.
