Jesuit Relations


The Relations were published in Paris, by the

provincial of the order, in small annual volumes. The original

narratives were written in Canada, or in one or other of the remote

mission fields, by the devoted missionaries, and are invaluable as a

record of the condition and character of the various Indian tribes in

the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. =Index=: (Samuel de Champlain era) Promoted
