Charles William Gordon was born September 13, 1860, in Indian Lands, Glengarry County, Ontario. He was one of seven children born to a Presbyterian minister, Donald (Daniel) Gordon, and to Mary Robertson Gordon. Both of his parents possessed outstanding abilities. Donald Gordon was an eloquent and passionate preacher of the Free Church of Scotland. He served as a missionary, first in the eastern townships of Quebec, and later in Glengarry County, Ontario. Charles Gordon's mother, Mary Robertson Gordon, came from a well known Sherbrooke, Quebec family. For a woman of her time, she received unusual opportunities. She was educated at Mount Holyoke College, Massachusetts, and at one time was invited to become its Principal. She refused the invitation in order to marry Donald Gordon. Charles Gordon's family included five brothers and one sister. Three of his brothers, Gilbert, Andrew, and Robertson achieved professional success in other fields. Dr. Andrew R. Gordon was a member of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto, while Dr. Gilbert Gordon became a prominent physician and professor of medical studies. The eldest brother, J. Robertson Gordon was a mining engineer involved with mining in the dominion lands.
The inspiration for Charles Gordon's life of service came from the example set by his parents. He never lost his faith in the beliefs, attitudes and values they passed on to him. Those values were embodied both in the way Gordon lived his life and in the twenty-six novels he penned between 1899 and 1937. Gordon received his primary schooling in Glengarry County and attended high school at St. Mary's in Harrington, Ontario. In 1883, he graduated from the University of Toronto with a Bachelor of Arts. His postgraduate studies included a year at New College, Edinburgh University, and a year of theological training at Knox College, University of Toronto.
When Charles Gordon completed his postgraduate schooling he was faced with a decision about the direction he wished his career to take. He seriously considered foreign mission work but instead was inspired by the Superintendent of the Presbyterian Home Mission Committee, the Rev. Dr. James Robertson, to apply his talents to the people of his own land. Gordon later memorialized Dr. Robertson in his novel entitledThe Superintendent. Between 1890 and 1894, Gordon's dedication to home mission work involved extensive travel to newly established homesteads, work with the men and families of mining camps, an appointment as a special commissioner representing Canadian Home Mission interests in Scotland, and a year as Clerk of the Presbytery of Calgary.
It was a result of his dedication to the Home Mission cause that Charles Gordon began his literary career. In an attempt to raise public awareness and money in Eastern Canada for the support of the Presbyterian Home Mission Committee, Gordon wrote a fictionalized account of life in the northwest. He received instant popularity and success with these inspiring and exciting romances about life in western Canada. Even his pen name, Ralph Connor, was originally intended to reflect his purpose of supporting the Home Missions. According to Gordon, he instructed the editor ofThe Westminsterto sign his story "Cannor", and abbreviation of "Canadian Northwest". A telegraph operator, not recognizing "Cannor", misspelled the name as "Connor", the name which consequently reached the editor. Eventually Gordon's story about life in the Northwest turned into a series of articles that was later published in novel form asBlack Rock. Hundreds of thousands of copies of this novel have been published and enjoyed by many people throughout the world. Gordon's subsequent work,The Sky Pilot, enjoyed an even greater response, and the reputation of "Ralph Connor" was launched.
Despite Gordon's literary success, he considered himself primarily a Christian minister and maintained a detached attitude towards his career as a novelist. In 1894, he was asked by the Rev. Dr. James Robertson to resign his position as Clerk of the Presbytery of Calgary and to take charge of St. Stephen's Presbyterian Church in downtown Winnipeg. In the last decade of the nineteenth century, Western Canada experienced a massive population growth. By 1891, Winnipeg was Canada's third largest city with a rapidly expanding immigrant population. Robertson felt that urban centres such as Winnipeg were in greater need of Christian influence than even the frontier regions of Canada's western lands and he saw Gordon as being perfectly suited to the job. Charles Gordon remained as minister of St. Stephen's until his retirement in 1924. It was also in Winnipeg that he met his wife, Helen King, daughter of the first Principal of Manitoba College, the Rev. John M. King.
Gordon's initial political involvement was an outgrowth of his home mission work where he became deeply involved in the problems of immigration and settlement. Gordon's concern for Sabbath observance, the separate school controversy, and the campaign against "liquor interests" in Manitoba occupied a great deal of his time in the early part of the century. He was alternately quoted and censured in the Winnipeg press for his outspokenness and opinions. In 1910 he accepted the presidency of the Social Service Council of Manitoba, an organization which sustained the campaign against alcohol and made temperance an issue in several provincial elections. In 1908, Gordon was appointed Convener of the Social Service Committee of the Presbyterian Church, and sustained a myriad of duties involving investigation of social questions including health, housing, and crime.
Gordon was also involved in the mediation of industrial disputes and labour problems. He was approached to either chair or serve on several Boards of Conciliation and Investigation established under the Industrial Disputes Act of 1907. While explicitly avoiding the contentious practice of arbitration, Gordon attempted, through negotiation and a "common sense" approach, to mediate in industrial disputes with varying degrees of success.
The onset of World War I irrevocably altered the life of Gordon, the staunch patriot and imperialist. At the age of fifty-four, duty-bound, he enlisted and went overseas as Chaplain of the 43rd Cameron Highlanders. Eventually Gordon was appointed senior chaplain to the Canadian Armed Forces in England and in France. Although he himself escaped injury, Gordon witnessed the death of several of his friends and fellow parishioners, including his long-time friend and financial advisor, Colonel R.M. Thomson. Apart from personal loss at the death of Thomson, Gordon suffered the loss of a large portion of his estate and ended up in debt due to the manner in which his estate was inextricably tied up with Thomson's. Gordon bore the financial loss with apparent stoicism and charity, and forbade family members to discuss it.
In 1916, Gordon was recalled to Canada and appointed by both the British and Canadian governments to represent the Allied cause to the United States in a speaking tour. A memorable feature of the tour was his meeting with Woodrow Wilson, whom he criticized for the callousness and selfishness of his neutrality. Wilson however, appeared to respond cordially and patiently to Gordon's presentation. Gordon was received enthusiastically by the American public and business leaders, including the former Republican President, Theodore Roosevelt, for the remainder of his tour.
Gordon celebrated the coming of peace in November of 1918 with prayers of gratitude, contemplating what role Canada and organized religion could play in rebuilding the war-torn world. Once an enthusiastic patriot and supporter of the Allied cause, Gordon's views were profoundly changed by war. He became a virtual pacifist, dedicating much of his interest to the League of Nations and openly opposing war in the 1930's. He was especially interested in the role the Christian churches might play in promoting world peace, but after a few years he lost faith in the ability of a divided ecclesiastical community to make a productive and unified contribution. He was greatly disturbed by the failure of the league of Nations to promote pace and goodwill among nation, and by the development of the league into a form, as he saw it, for diplomatic manoeuvring. Gordon criticized the League in the 1930's for abandoning its original moral role was conceived by its founder, Woodrow Wilson.
In Canada, Gordon supported the postwar movement toward church union. In 1922, he was appointed Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, an appointment coincidental with a renewed campaign for the union of the Presbyterian, Congregational, and Methodist Churches. This long and sometimes bitter unification campaign threatened to divide, more than unite, the churches and at one point resulted in a vocal anti-church-union movement which attempted to legally halt the proceedings of church union. During his national speaking tour as Moderator, Gordon, with Dr. James Endicott of the Methodist Church, travelled across the county speaking on behalf of church union. Church union eventually became a fact, but not until 1925.
During these long years, Gordon found time to resume his writing career, often in the seclusion of Brikencraig, the family's Lake of the Woods cottage. In 1917, Gordon publishedThe Majorfollowed byTreading the Winepress,The Runner,The Arm of Gold,Torches Through the Bush,The Friendly Four, andHe Dwelt Among Us. He found, however, that the market for his works had declined and that public tastes had changed. While he continued to publish, book sales declined and were negatively affected by the economic conditions of the late 1920's and early 1930's. While "Ralph Connor" continued to be popular, his glory days were over. Come the 1930's, Gordon changed his emphasis from romantic fiction to an interest in real life social and economic conditions. Consequently he wrote a series of articles on the unemployment crisis and the social order for the Winnipeg journalWestern Home Monthly. His concern with rising unemployment and sympathy for the unemployed was also made clear by his support of "Trekkers" in 1936. Gordon wrote a pamphlet publicizing the march to eastern Canada by these men from the western relief camps, written in collaboration with the Citizen's Defense Committee.
Retiring from St. Stephen's in 1924, Gordon pursued his interest in international relations and in social and industrial conditions. In 1926, Gordon was invited to attend an international conference of Christian churches, the World Conference on Faith and Order, in Lausanne, Switzerland. Gordon declined to attend, but continued to support the cause of international relations. In 1932, Gordon accepted the invitation to preach the annual sermon before the League of Nations, and then toured Spain with the International Labour Office as a guest of the newly created republic. Gordon's international touring included a visit to Australia and New Zealand for the United Church in 1935.
In his later years, Gordon was honoured with several degrees and awards. In 1919, he was awarded an honourary doctorate of divinity by the University of Glasgow; in 1937, the University of Manitoba awarded him an honourary L.L.D. He was also the recipient of the Order of St. Michael and St. George in 1935. Gordon continued to write until the last years of his life, embarking an autobiography in 1936. However, he never lived to see the publication of this last work since he died in 1937. One year after his death his autobiography,Postscript to Adventurewas published after having been edited and revised by his son, King Gordon.
Charles Gordon's reputation as a writer whose novels depicted and publicized the settling of prairie society has endured among students of Canadian literature. Gordon himself appeared surprised with the success of "Ralph Connor", stating that he never set out to create literature or to become an author. He wrote in his autobiography that "things just came to him and he put them down." Indeed, that which `came to him' has put him down as one of this country's most popular authors with a phenomenally large readership, attracted in part by his stories of the "West" and his "religious motif". Gordon's works have been and will be interpreted in many ways, but remain noted for their descriptive and alluring portrayals of the Canadian prairies at a time of their considerable expansion and settlement, and for the religious and moral principles which they contained.
The first installment of the Gordon papers, consisting of typescripts and handwritten manuscripts of some of his novels, was donated by the family to the University of Manitoba in August 1969. However, the greater bulk of the literary papers and all his other private and career documents were donated in October 1987 to complete the collection.
The records were first divided into non-literary and literary documents reflecting Gordon's separate careers as author and as church minister. Records in the non-literary group were then classified into sections based on subject, each chosen to reflect a particular period in Gordon's career. Records in the literary section consist of Gordon's original manuscripts, publishers' correspondence, and mail from "Ralph Connor" readers.
Records in the non-literary category pertain to Gordon's career as a minister and public figure. They include his personal records consisting largely of biographical material, financial papers, and personal and general correspondence. This section is followed by documents from Gordon's work with the Home and Foreign Mission Offices of the Presbyterian Church. Closely related to these are the records of the aboriginal land claims disputes in British Columbia, grouped under the sction "B. C. Indians." Other categories include "Temperence" and "Prohibition", "Labour and Industry", "Social Service" and "Social Service and Evangelism". These records are associated with the activities of the Presbyterian Church's Board of Social Service and Evangelism, and with the earlier social service and evangelistic work preceding the formal organization of the Social Service Committee.
Documents associated with Gordon's war service may be found in the section "World War I". This section is followed by one titled "Moderatorship" and includes papers and correspondence from Gordon's appointment as Moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Canada. Immediately following are the "Church Union" records, the administrative records and correspondence, pro and con, pertaining to the formation of the United Church in 1925. Two smaller sections follow, one belonging to the 1926 "World Conference on Faith and Order", which deals with international Christian unity, and the other, titled "League of Nations", contains published reports, Gordon's personal papers and correspondence on the League's issues and problems.
Completing this "non-literary section" are Gordon's original sermons and articles which have been grouped together under "Sermons and Addresses". Gordon's published and unpublished articles have been grouped separately under "Articles," which includes writings on religion and Christianity, industrial relations, world peace, war, temperance, and social questions.
The literary works consist of full and partial manuscripts of eighteen of his published novels as well as one unpublished novel and an unpublished play. Found here also is a volume of correspondence with Canadian, American, and British publishing houses, as well as correspondence from readers attesting to the popularity of Gordon's works.
The 1997 accrual consists of two diaries kept by Gordon in 1887 and 1888 recording his experiences in Great Britain and Europe.
This collection is organized into 21 series.
The collection is open to all responsible users. Patrons must abide by all pertinent Canadian copyright legislation and by all regulations imposed by this Department with respect to the careful use of original manuscript material. No part of this collection may be loaned out, borrowed, or in other ways circulated outside the reading room of Archives & Special Collections, Rm 331, Elizabeth Dafoe Library, The University of Manitoba.

Biographical
1892-1948, 1982, n.d. (7 boxes) |
|
Charles Gordon's biographical records consist of his personal and family papers, his financial records, substantial correspondence, and various other records. Most have been grouped by document, but those entitled "Related Topics" have been sorted topically, as a reflection of Gordon's own filing arrangement.
|
|
Among the family records are obituaries, reminiscences, tributes and correspondence containing details of Gordon's family history. Some obituaries, news clippings and correspondence provide reminiscences of Gordon's parents, Donald Daniel Gordon and Mary Robertson Gordon, and of two of Gordon's brothers, Gilbert Gordon and Andrew Gordon. Reminiscences of Gordon himself by personal friends and acquaintances are also available. A number of biographical sketches, public tributes, and biographical newspaper and magazine articles provide further information about the life and career of Charles Gordon. The correspondence was gathered by Gordon in preparation of his autobiographical work ”Postscript to Adventure” (1938).
|
|
Gordon's financial records consist of statements of his investments and financial assets. These include statements in account with R.M. Thomson of Charles Gordon and of the Garry Investment Company. A few stock and general financial records may also be found here.
|
|
Gordon's substantial correspondence is scattered throughout the entire collection according to topic. However, those not easily identifiable by subject or which are more closely biographical and personal are found here, such as the Aberdeen correspondence, letters of sympathy upon Gordon's death, and correspondence from prominent political figures. All have been sorted as incoming, outgoing and related (third party) and have been arranged alphabetically by surname. As there is such a wide variety of correspondence in the entire Gordon Collection, please consult the index for name cross-references.
|
|
The "Related Topics" subdivision accommodates records from other phases in Gordon's life and career such as his visit to Australia and New Zealand with the Home Missions Office of the Presbyterian Church. Some of Gordon's honours and awards, particularly his honorary degrees from the University of Glasgow and the University of Manitoba, and the Order of Saint Michael and Saint George are to be found here. So, too, are the records relating to Manitoba College, the Y.M.C.A., and Magna Charta Day. Other groups of records, such as "Gordon Memorial Cottage" and "Cobalt Lake Mining Claim," relate to matters of more personal concern to Gordon. He was responsible for the creation and funding of Gordon Memorial Cottage, a sanatorium, and his brother was directly involved in the controversial land mineral resource dispute over Cobalt Lake in Ontario. Some records of Gordon's radio broadcasts, mostly correspondence from listeners, have been included here, as well as records from his 1933 Canadian Authors' Association visit to London, England. Wherever possible, the order of those records corresponds to Gordon's own file arrangement.

British Canadian North-West Missions
1883-1928, predominant 1893-1906 (16 folders) |
|
"1890-1900 the experiences as a missionary in the Rocky Mountains and in the foothill country where as Clerk of the Presbytery of Calgary I gathered up material for my first books..." (Charles William Gordon (Ralph Connor) Collection, University of Manitoba Archives & Special Collections. MSS 56. Box 31, Folder 5.)
|
|
Gordon's own words aptly describe this section of the collection. The majority of documents deal with his work regarding the British Canadian North-West Missions and the work of the Presbyterian Church in raising monies, delegating funds and authority, and sending out missionaries to Canada's great and mysterious north-western lands. The main body of documents fall within the decade of 1890 to 1900, but there are materials dating from 1883 to 1907.
|
|
The administrative section deals with the more bureaucratic elements of Gordon's work in the North-West. It contains minutes and reports of the Home Mission Committee, lists of immigrants, a summary of Home Mission work, and an official day diary. Complementary to this is the financial section which deals with monies raised and received in the "Old Country" as well as expenses incurred in the operation of the missions in Canada.
|
|
A large number of Mission Field Reports, schedules and related correspondence, originating from all over the north-west and sent to Gordon in his capacity as Clerk of the Presbytery of Calgary, are also contained herein. These informative documents report on the welfare, population, and financial condition of many prairie and Rocky Mountain communities just prior to the turn of the century and overall state of the various North-West Mission Fields.
|
|
The Rev. Dr. James Robertson, memorialized in Gordon's The Superintendent, was the Superintendent of the British Canadian North-West Missions in Canada from 1881 to 1902. The large collection of correspondence both to and from Robertson contained in this section is complemented by the source materials Gordon collected for his biography of Robertson, which is found in the Literary Manuscript section of the collection.
|
|
Both the Canadian National and Canadian Pacific Railways gave land grants to the missions willing to build churches in the North-west. The section dealing with this dates slightly later, from 1902-1907, but it contains elated reports, memoranda, and correspondence.
|
|
The British Canadian North-West Missions and their supporting bodies published many pamphlets and leaflets proclaiming their purpose and soliciting support. Both Gordon and Robertson, as well as others, wrote material for these publications. A number of examples are contained in the collection.

British Columbia Indians
1909-1927 (10 folders) |
|
Through his work in the Social Service Council of Canada, Charles William Gordon became involved in the "Society of Friends of the Indians of British Columbia". The aim of this organization was “to bring about a solution of the very serious controversy regarding Indian land rights...(and)...to aid in securing the future well being of the twenty-five thousand Indians of that Province.” (Charles William Gordon (Ralph Connor) Collection, University of Manitoba Archives & Special Collections, MSS 56. Box 9, Folder 12.)
|
|
Gordon was one of many prominent Canadians who "strongly endorsed and in various ways actively promoted" the aims of this organization. (Ibid.)
|
|
This section of the collection contains papers regarding the society's administration, minutes of its meetings, petitions presented to the Canadian Federal Government, and a large number of relevant memoranda, notes and reports. These documents date from 1909 through 1927, although the majority fall within the early twenties. Also included are Federal Government position papers in response to the Society's petitions.
|
|
A large section of correspondence between Gordon and other members of the Society, as well as interested parties such as Arthur Meighen and Charlotte Whitton, are included in this section of the collection. The correspondence dates from 1914 through 1927, with the majority between 1920 to 1925.
|
|
The Society of Friends of Indians of British Columbia published a number of pamphlets and leaflets in an attempt to raise public awareness of the question of aboriginal rights and land claims in Canada. A number of these publications are also included.

St. Stephen's Church
1894-1933 (9 folders) |
|
In the last decade of the 19th century, Western Canada experienced a massive population growth. Approximately one-half of all immigrants that landed in Canada headed for the west Finlay, J.L. and D.N. Sprague. (The Structure of Canadian History. 3rd Edition. Scarborough, Ontario: Prentice-Hall Canada Inc., 1989. p. 252.) with at least one-third of these people settling in the cities. (Ibid., p. 255.) By 1891, Winnipeg was Canada's third largest city with a rapidly expanding immigrant population. The Superintendent of the Presbyterian Home Mission Committee, the Reverend James Robertson, felt that urban centres such as Winnipeg were in greater need of Christian influence than even the frontier regions of Canada's western lands. Consequently, in 1894, he asked the Reverend Charles William Gordon to resign his position as Clerk of the Presbytery of Calgary and to take charge of St. Stephen's Presbyterian Church in downtown Winnipeg. Here Gordon remained as minister until his retirement in 1924.
|
|
The documents included in this section of the collection are far from complete. They encompass only a limited number of the activities that Gordon undertook in his capacity as Minister of St. Stephen's. A more complete collection of the administrative and bureaucratic elements of St. Stephen's can be found in the United Church Archives, Rupert's Land Conference, housed in the University of Winnipeg Archives.
|
|
The papers in this section include annual reports as well as reports of the board of management, building committees, finance committees, the missionary society, and the session and treasury boards. Minutes of some meetings held by these bodies are also contained herein. Several memoranda and related documents that relate to these adminstrative elements. The financial documents consist of account statements, contracts, receipts, tenders, and one ledger book. There are extensive lists of members of various church bodies and committees. The correspondence pertains mainly to the adminstrative and financial functions of St. Stephen's.

Labour and Industry
1907-1923 (32 folders) |
|
The records contained within this section have been grouped into two parts: those records dealing with industrial disputes arbitrated by Charles Gordon on behalf of the Dominion government; and the records of the Joint Council of Industry of Manitoba, of which Gordon was chairman between 1920 and 1924. Gordon's involvement in labour arbitration was both of a theoretical and practical nature; as convener of the Social Service Committee, which issued a manifesto on the relationship between the church and the problems of industry, Gordon became a student of the social and working conditions of working men. Meanwhile, Dr. Gordon also was appointed to at least four arbitration positions by the federal government under the Industrial Disputes Investigations Act of 190[7], and appointed four times to a Board of Conciliation and Investigation. In 1920, Charles Gordon was appointed chairman of the Joint Council of Industry of Manitoba, created by the provincial government in the aftermath of the Winnipeg General Strike of 1919. With the Joint Council of Industry, Gordon was able to continue investigating the social and working conditions of labour in the province, as well as arbitrating in relatively minor labour/management disputes. In his autobiography (Charles Gordon.Postscript to Adventure: The Autobiography of
Ralph Connor, Toronto: McClelland and Steward Limited, 1975.), Gordon appeared satisfied with the arbitration record of the short-lived Council.
|
|
Under the Industrial Disputes Investigations Act, Charles Gordon was appointed to Boards of Conciliation and Investigation in four disputes, the records of which have been grouped together as one section. These disputes include the Manitoba Cartage Company versus its employees, 1909; Western Coal Operators versus United Mine Workers of America, 1911; Western Canada Coal Operator's Association, Canmore Coal Company, versus District No. 18 of the United Mine Workers of America, 1923; and the Winnipeg Electric Railway Company versus the Independent Gas Worker' Union of Winnipeg, 1923. The records have been arranged according to dispute, and sorted by document. Included are documents establishing the respective Boards of Conciliation and Investigation, and appointing their membership; reports and statements of the Boards; proceedings of the Boards and the evidence of witnesses in each dispute; and the correspondence of the investigations, including that between Gordon and F.A. Acland, the Deputy Minister of Labour; Rodolphe Lemieux and William Lyon Mackenzie King, Ministers of Labour; and representatives of both management and labour in the various disputes. The section also contains published material and a report on Christianizing industrial relations.
|
|
The second part of this section comprises records pertaining to the Joint Council of Industry and to industrial relations and labour conditions in Winnipeg. The documents have been arranged into Council of Industry reports; copies of bills of indictment of J.S. Woodsworth for seditious libel; documents pertaining to the Employers' Association of Manitoba and to the Industrial Development Board; draft notes on industrial relations prepared by Charles Gordon; correspondence on industrial problems; and published documents on industrial relations and conditions. Also included is correspondence between Gordon and Sir Wilfrid Laurier, and between Gordon and W.L.M. King, then Minister of Labour. The Laurier correspondence includes an exchange between Laurier and Gordon on the upcoming naval bill, the King and Skill obscenity trials, and other courteous exchanges. The King-Gordon correspondence, on the other hand, refers generally to industrial disputes.
