The Jesuit Relations : Natives and Missionaries in Seventeenth-Century North America Paperback / softback
Edited by Allan Greer
Part of the The Bedford Series in History and Culture series
Paperback / softback
Description
As a 73-volume library, the original The Jesuit Relations has long been inaccessible to undergraduate students.
Vitally important, the writings of seventeenth-century French Jesuits in Native North America tell the story of early American encounters.
This new edition deftly binds them into a thematically arranged, 35-document sampler with a detailed introduction that provides background on these missionaries, the Indians, and their cohabitation in early North America.
Colourful journal entries by such fathers as Paul LeJeune, Jean de Brebeuf, Isaac Jogues, and Jacques Marquette describe the Huron, Algonquin, Iroquois, and Montagnais peoples.
