Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Pioneer Priests of North America, Vol. 1: 1642-1710 The Pioneer Priests whose lives are sketched in this volume, are not all the "Pioneer Priests of North America." Only those have been chosen who had to do with the Iroquois Indians. The reason we write about them is that, although nearly all of the missionaries who labored among those savages were very remarkable men, yet they are, with one or two exceptions, practically unknown. It is true that they appear at intervals in the general history of the period, but that is not sufficient to give us an adequate idea of their greatness. Not only were they wonderful apostles, but some of them were conspicuous figures in the political events of the colonies, yet even their names are now forgotten. The desire to revive the memory of their heroism and holiness is the motive of these individual studies of their lives. The chronological order has been followed, as far as possible, so as to correspond with the general history of the missions. Their work began in 1642, when Father Jogues was taken prisoner on the St. Lawrence, and carried down to what is now Auriesville, on the Mohawk. In 1644, Father Bressani was captured and brought to the same place; as was Father Poncet, in 1655. The two latter were released, after being tortured, but Father Jogues was put to death there in 1646. In 1654, Father Le Moyne visited the Onondagas, and in 1655, Fathers Dablon and Chaumonot established a mission near the present site of Syracuse. They were subsequently joined by Fathers Fremin, Menard, Ragueneau, and Le Mercier. A French colony was also attempted there, but to avoid a general massacre, an exodus took place on the night of March 20, 1658.
