Forin's copy, with his marginalia,Summary: Maude went with Prince Hilkoff and other Doukhobors as part of initial delegation to Canada to help pave the way for Doukhobor immigration. Describes emigration preparations, agreement with Canadian government regarding Doukhobor settlers, problems with arranging immigration, and Canadian prejudice against Doukhobors. Explains choice of settlement location, which was in part due to arrangement with government and CPR which allowed Doukhobors to take up land in compact settlements and thus obtain solid townships.,Describes difference between real and perceived character of the Doukhobors. Asserts that Doukhobors were not saints like the Tolstoyans believed, and that Doukhobors often exhibited a gap between theory and practice. However, Maude assured the government of the good quality of Doukhobor settlers, and communicated to the Doukhobors that they would have to supply vital statistics, make individual entries, pay taxes, and follow the laws of Canada.,Maude mentions several people with whom he was in contact at the time, and who were somehow concerned with the Doukhobor migration. Describes his experience with newspapers which printed false information about the Doukhobors. Tells of the Doukhobor voyage across the Atlantic to Canada from Russia, and of the help of the Friends (Quakers).,Includes map and photographs.
