: Early Jesuit Missions to Canada (translations by George Topp sj and William Lonc sj) - Posting approved by Mohican Press -

: This limited edition book set has been produced to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the founding of Martyrs� Shrine in Midland Ontario. The books represented in this set are translations of notable French scholarly works on early Jesuit missions in Canada, particularly during the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. The books in this set are:

: * Biographical Dictionary for the Jesuit Missions in Acadia and New France, 1602-1654, by Lucien Campeau s.j. This book is derived from the "Notices Biographiques" found in the eight published volumes of Fr. Campeau�s Monumenta Novae Franciae. As such, the Dictionary contains the names of people who in one way or another are associated with the Jesuit Mission activities in the early 17th century, beginning with the mission in Port Royale in Acadia (1611-1613) and ending with the post-Huronia period up to 1654.
:  
: * Jean de Brebeuf�s Writings, by Rene Latourelle s.j. This book tells the story of Jean de Brebeuf�s writings from a literary as well as from a spiritual point of view. Its quality merited Fr. Latourelle a first prize from the Government of Quebec. 

: * The Jesuit Mission to the Hurons, 1634-1650, by Lucien Campeau s.j. This book pertains to the Jesuit mission in Huronia in the early part of the 17th century. It was originally published under the title La Mission des Jesuites chez les Hurons, 1634-1650, which was volume 66 of the series Bibliotheca Istituti Historici S.I., published in Rome and Montreal.
:  
: * Gannentaha: First Jesuit Mission to the Iroquois, 1653-1665, by Lucien Campeau s.j. This book tells the story of the Jesuit mission to the Iroquois from 1653 to 1655 in today�s upper New York State near Syracuse. The mission occurs in an atmosphere of tension between the Iroquois and the French, partly due to the complex relationship between the Iroquois on the one hand, and the Hurons and the Algonquins, etc., on the other.
:  
: * The Donnes in Huronia, by Jean Cote. This book is a study of the men known as Donnes, who dedicated themselves whole-heartedly to the Jesuit Mission to the Hurons in the early part of the 17th century.
:  
: * Letters from the New Canada Mission, 1843-1852, in two volumes, by Lorenzo Cadieux s.j. Ontario is the dominant venue for these letters. The authors describe their endeavours among the settlers as well as among the Natives during the time of the Union of the two Canadas: Ontario and Quebec. These documents are a veritable gold mine of information for historians, sociologists, economists, ethnologists, folklorists, etc., because they contain uncensored episodes describing the mores, values, and day to day life in the 1840�s.

: Interested customers are to send their mailing address and 
: $200CAD ($130US) plus shipping to me. They should first contact me by email, then I can give them my mailing address (which is my home address). There are only 35 sets available.

: I have also produced a small booklet on the Life of Kateri written in 1696 by her spiritual advisor, Pierre Cholenec sj. The original is in French, so I believe this is the first English translation of this work available to the general public. This would be the first biography on Kateri, written by someone who knew her well. Many first hand references, including miracles attributed to her intercession after her death.
