Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Travels and Explorations of the Jesuit Missionaries in New France, 1610-1791, Vol. 47: The Original French, Latin, and Italian Texts, With English Translations and Notes; Illustrated by Portraits, Maps, and Facsimiles Following is a synopsis of the documents contained in this volume: CVII. In the preceding volume appeared Chaps, i.-iii. of the Relation of 1660-61; the rest of the document is herewith presented. The fourth chapter relates the miraculous deliverance of a Frenchman who is wrecked upon the St. Lawrence, in the depth of winter. This is followed by another account, of like tenor - a man being rescued, also by the Virgin´s help, from the fires of the Iroquois. The sufferings of other prisoners, who perished at the hands of these cruel foes, are likewise recounted, - also a vision of heaven and hell, which came to one of the Huron captives. He and other disciples constitute and maintain "a Church in bondage, but fervent; and so constant in the faith that secret Assemblies of Christians are held in some outlying cabin, removed from the noise and gaze of the Iroquois" - assemblies which are likened to those held, in olden time, in the catacombs of Rome. Another band of Christian Hurons had escaped, after the ruin of their nation, to the Erie tribe; they were led thither by one of their number, an old man, who was "a veritable Moses to this poor wandering Church." He acts "as Preacher, Bishop, and general Pastor of his Church," and even as their confessor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
