The Jesuit relations : natives and missionaries in seventeenth-century North America

"Vitally important, the writings of seventeenth-century French Jesuits in Native North America tell the story of early American encounters. This new edition binds them into a thematically arranged, 36-document sampler with a detailed introduction that provides background on these missionaries, the Indians, and their cohabitation in early North America. Colorful journal entries by such fathers as Paul LeJeune, Jean de Brebeuf, Isaac Jogues, and Jacques Marquette describe the Huron, Algonquin, Iroquois, and Montagnais peoples."--Jacket
