Faith met wilderness in silence. In this classic narrative of colonial North America, Francis Parkman traces how French missionaries carried their faith into the forests and waterways of seventeenth century Canada, confronting vast distances, fragile settlements, and powerful Native nations. Drawing on vivid seventeenth century missionary accounts, Parkman unfolds the story of the Jesuit missions in Canada and their place in the early New France colony: perilous journeys up the St. Lawrence and beyond, alliances and misunderstandings between French missionaries and natives, and the clash of spiritual purpose with the harsh realities of the 1600s North America frontier. Both a work of narrative colonial history and a cornerstone of early colonial Canada history, it offers rich context for history students, homeschool history curriculum planners, and anyone seeking companion reading to the Jesuit Relations and to wider studies of the France and England in North America series. First published in the nineteenth century, The Jesuits in North America in the Seventeenth Century secured Parkman's reputation as a master of classic North American history, combining careful research with dramatic, closely observed storytelling. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike, appealing equally to thoughtful casual readers and to serious students and lovers of enduring historical works.
