Excerpt from A Peculiar People: The Doukhobors I republish it, not because it is just what, after a further three years' attention to the subject, I should say to-day, but because it shows how some of us who were concerned in the migration, viewed the matter at the time it was written. As I then saw chiefly one side of the case, I was able to state that side perhaps more forcibly than I could restate it now that circumstances have obliged me to pay more attention to other phases of the matter. The second chapter tells of my own visit to Canada with the first Doukhobor pioneers. The rest of the book owes its origin to the Pilgrim ages, which showed me that I had been misinformed about the sect, and had consequently failed to tell the whole truth about them.
