Minnesota's Forgotten Martyr: Massacre Island by Emmett A. Shanahan is a historical account of the tragic events that took place on September 29, 1696, on Lake Superior's Massacre Island. The book details the massacre of a group of French-Canadian voyageurs and their Ojibwe allies by a group of Sioux warriors. The author presents an in-depth analysis of the historical context, cultural differences, and political tensions that led to the massacre. The book also sheds light on the life and legacy of Father Louis Hennepin, a Franciscan priest who was among the survivors of the massacre and who later became a significant figure in the exploration of the Mississippi River. Shanahan's meticulous research and engaging narrative style make Minnesota's Forgotten Martyr: Massacre Island a compelling read for anyone interested in the history of the Great Lakes region and the interactions between Native American and European cultures in the 17th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
