Into The Unknown West
By Frank Mundell
Published by Gall and Inglis: London c1890

" Into the Unknown West by Frank Mundell is a late 19th-century adventure and missionary-themed narrative that explores the challenges and triumphs faced by Christian pioneers venturing into the frontiers of North America. Framed within the spirit of British evangelicalism, the book recounts the lives of missionaries, explorers, and settlers who braved wilderness, harsh climates, and encounters with Indigenous peoples as they brought Christianity and "civilisation" to the untamed regions of the western world. Mundell blends fact with storytelling to inspire young readers with tales of faith, endurance, and moral purpose.

Through dramatic anecdotes and stirring character portrayals, the book emphasizes the courage and perseverance of those who ventured beyond the comforts of home for a higher calling. While steeped in the language and assumptions of its time—including a paternalistic view of Indigenous cultures—Into the Unknown West remains a telling reflection of Victorian attitudes toward empire, religion, and heroism. It aims to motivate readers with the idea that even in the most remote and dangerous regions, divine purpose and moral resolve can prevail."
