The Jesuit Martyrs of Canada, Together With the Martyrs Slain in the Mohawk Valley is a compelling historical account of the lives and deaths of the Jesuit missionaries who sought to spread Christianity across North America in the 17th century. Written by Edward James Devine, this work chronicles the harrowing experiences of figures such as Isaac Jogues, Jean de Brébeuf, and their companions, whose missionary zeal led them from the settled regions of New France into the wilderness of the Great Lakes and the Mohawk Valley.

Devine details the cultural encounters, extreme physical hardships, and deep spiritual conviction that defined the Jesuit mission during this volatile period of colonial history. The book explores the complex and often tragic relationships between European missionaries and various First Nations, providing vital insight into the religious and political landscape of the era. By focusing on the sacrifices made by these martyrs, the narrative underscores their significant impact on the early religious development of both Canada and the United States. This volume serves as both a tribute to their faith and a valuable historical record of the early encounters between European explorers and the indigenous inhabitants of the continent.
