Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Pioneers of the Cross in Canada The narrative of the lives and experiences of the Franciscan and Jesuit missionaries with the tribes of Canada in the seventeenth century is a Christian epic of tragic fascination. Of the many missions organized in this memorable century and among those which in a special manner invite our admiration, the missions to the Hurons of the Georgian and Nottawasaga Bays occupy a unique position. The predatory and sanguinary raids of the Iroquois, with their accumulated horrors, which practically annihilated the Hurons; the devotion of the priests to their fugitive converts and the heroic courage of the noble band of priestly martyrs have given to the Huron nation and the Huron region a prominent place in our history. In this land and among the tribes which peopled its forests were witnessed the most perfect examples of faith and charity and a self-effacement and abnegation which invite the respect and admiration of even disinterested men. The sources of information on the condition of the tribes and the devotion of the French missionaries are pure and undefiled. From the letters written by the missionaries and martyred priests we obtain a most accurate information on the habits, manners, and customs of the Canadian tribes.
