An overall view of the Rev. John Chantler McDougall's Indian mission, in the Alberta foothills, at Morley, near Calgary, Alberta. The view is set against the background of the Rocky Mountains and depicts a group of ten buildings at the top of a narrow escarpment, partially surrounded by a fence separating the buildings from the escarpment's edge. At the foot of the escarpment (and at the right end to the viewer) is a corral with a horse standing close to an open-sided animal shelter., (The Rev. John Chantler McDougall was born at Owen Sound, Canada West [Ontario], in 1842 and died at Calgary, Alberta, in 1917. The mission at Morley, Alberta had previously been administered by his father the Rev. George Millward McDougall [b. 1821], from 1873 until his accidental death in a severe Winter snow storm near Calgary, in January 1876. - See: "The Canadian Encyclopedia", Vol. II, Pg. 1263. Published By Hurtig Publishers Ltd., Edmonton. 1988.)
