- "'From the Red River to the Arctic' is one of a series of monographs on Canadian church history supported by the CCHS. .... Dr. Peake has in this volume pulled together many threads of the pioneering Anglican missionary efforts in this part of the world. His work is clearly in the grand narrative tradition of group biography. The small steps with often discouraging results made by this group of stout missionaries provide the glue which binds these essays together". -- Foreword, p. vii.
- "This is not a history in the conventional sense but rather reflections on the people and incidents connected with the development of the Church of England on the prairies. The choice of name is deliberate for not only was it the official name of the Church until the mid-1950s but the intention of the missionaries generally was to reproduce the Church in all its Englishness in the new land". -- Intro., p. ix.
- Includes bibliographical references and index.
- Bibliography: pp. 159-163.
