Ebook - Pioneer Priests of North America - Volume One

Ebook - This is a PDF Only.

Fr. T. J. Campbell, S.J. - PB 382 pages

THE JESUIT RELATIONS are full of details of the life and works of some of the most heroic missionaries ever chronicled. These two volumes could properly be described as a summary of the thousands of documents comprising “The Relations” (as they are commonly named) of those first Jesuits who evangelized the area of North America known as New France from 1642 - 1710.
In addition to those Eight Canonized Martyrs the stories of many other pioneer priests are outlined. Some are every bit as astounding as those canonized.
Volume One covers those missionaries to the Iroquois and other tribes in New York, Quebec, and New England. Volume Two is primarily about those of Huronia, Ontario, and the Great Lakes states.
