Jesuits in North America in the 17th Century

Jesuits in North America in the 17th Century

by Francis Parkman, Jr.

Francis Parkman's classic work of American history recounts the story of the Jesuit missionaries in North America during the 17th century. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources, Parkman provides a vivid and detailed account of the Jesuits' efforts to convert the Native Americans to Christianity, and the conflicts that arose between the Jesuits and the French colonial authorities. Parkman's work is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Americas, and it remains one of the most comprehensive accounts of the Jesuit missions in North America.
