Devine was preaching at St John’s, Nfld, in 1902 when he was assigned to the Alaska mission. His adventures travelling to the Pacific coast were described in “Alaskan letters,” which appeared in the Canadian Messenger in 1903-4. They formed the basis of Across widest America, Newfoundland to Alaska, with the impressions of two years’ sojourn on the Bering coast, which he published when he returned to Montreal in 1905 and reissued in New York City the following year.

E.J. Devine prêchait à Terre-Neuve quand il fut envoyé en mission en Alaska. Les aventures qu’il connut en se rendant sur la côte du Pacifique l’amenèrent à rédiger une série d’articles, « Alaskan letters » qui forment la base d’Across widest America, Newfoundland to Alaska publié à son retour à Montréal en 1905 et réédité à New York l’année suivante. Ceci est l'édition américaine. EN ANGLAIS SEULEMENT.
