Book Overview

Missionary Labors of Fathers Marquette, Menard and Allouez in the Lake Superior Region is a historical book written by Chrysostom Verwyst and published in 1886. The book details the missionary work of three Jesuit priests, Father Jacques Marquette, Father Claude Jean Allouez, and Father Ren����� M�����nard, in the Lake Superior region of North America during the 17th century. The book describes the challenges faced by the missionaries in their efforts to convert the Native American tribes to Christianity, including language barriers, cultural differences, and the harsh living conditions of the region. Verwyst also provides detailed accounts of the priests' interactions with the Ojibwe, Huron, and Ottawa tribes, as well as their exploration of the Great Lakes and surrounding areas. The book is a valuable resource for historians and anyone interested in the history of North America, particularly the early interactions between European settlers and Native American tribes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
