Father Marquette is a historical biography written by Reuben Gold Thwaites and published in 1902. The book tells the story of the life and adventures of Father Jacques Marquette, a French Jesuit missionary who explored the Great Lakes region of North America in the 17th century. Thwaites presents a vivid and detailed account of Marquette's life, from his early years in France to his mission work among the Native American tribes of the Midwest. The book describes Marquette's travels and explorations, including his famous journey down the Mississippi River in 1673, which helped to open up the region to French colonization. Thwaites also provides insight into Marquette's religious beliefs and his interactions with the Native Americans he encountered. The book explores the challenges and dangers that Marquette faced as he traveled through unfamiliar territory, and highlights his courage and dedication to his mission. Overall, Father Marquette is a compelling and informative biography that offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of an important historical figure. Thwaites' writing is engaging and accessible, making this book an excellent choice for anyone interested in the history of North America or the role of religion in early exploration and colonization.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
