Saint Among Savages: The Life of Isaac Jogues is a biography written by Francis Talbot about the life of Isaac Jogues, a Jesuit missionary who traveled to North America in the 17th century to evangelize and convert Native American tribes. The book details Jogues' journey from France to the New World, his encounters with various tribes, including the Mohawks, and his eventual capture and torture by the Iroquois. Despite his brutal treatment, Jogues remained committed to his mission and eventually returned to France where he was celebrated as a hero and saint. The book provides a detailed and engaging account of Jogues' life, his struggles, and his ultimate triumph over adversity. It also offers insights into the complex relationships between European colonizers and Native American tribes during this period of history. Overall, Saint Among Savages is a fascinating and inspiring read for anyone interested in the history of early North America and the role of religion in shaping it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
