Excerpt from Samuel Champlain, Vol. 2: Histoire de Sa Vie Et de Ses Voyages
Des circonstances, plus fortes que notre volonté, nous ont empêché de publier avant aujourd'hui le deuxième volume de la Vie de Champlain. Après tout, l'heure n'est pas encore trop mal choisie àla veille de la célébration du troisième centenaire de la fondation de Québec il nous a semblé que cette publication serait aussi bien accueillie qu'elle l'eût été dix ou quinze ans plus tôt.
L'auteur a inséré dans ce volume de nombreux détails sur les missions de la primitive Eglise du Canada, et sur les missions huronnes en particulier. On sera peut-être tenté de lui tenir rigueur de ce qui pourrait être considéré comme un hors - d'oeuvre. Mais, c'est à dessein qu'il l'a fait, car - il eût été injuste à l'égard de Champlain d'ignorer l'oeuvre des missionnaires, ses contemporains, oeuvre entre prise à sa demande, continuée et menée à. Bonne fin.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the early missions among the Huron peoples of Canada. It begins with a brief account of the establishment of the RÃ collet mission in New France in 1615, and then follows the missionaries as they make contact with the Huron tribes and begin to learn their language and culture. The book also provides a detailed account of Champlain's first journey to the Huron country in 1615. The author argues that the Huron missions were a significant chapter in the history of Christianity in North America, and that they played an important role in the development of relations between Europeans and Native Americans. The author also discusses the challenges faced by the missionaries, including the difficulty of learning the Huron language, the hostility of some of the Huron tribes, and the outbreak of war between the Huron and Iroquois. The book concludes with a reflection on the legacy of the Huron missions, and the author argues that they continue to offer important insights into the history of Christianity in North America.
