Book Sale Find - North American History
The novel Black Robe by Brian Moore (and, yes, the movie,
too) inspired me to do some research, from which I learned that the Jesuits in Canada were fanatical reporters, sending annual Relations back to their superiors in France, telling them everything that happened that year. While I have still to come across a printed set of these reports, I found yesterday the next best thing: a four volume set of _Pioneer Priests of North America, 1642 - 1710_ , by Rev. T. J. Campbell, S.J. of Fordham University, published from 1908 to 1916 (first printing of each volume and yes it has been reprinted periodically) and all in very good condition. The first volume is sort of a summary to the other three, which are arranged as follows: vol. 1 - Among the Iroquois; vol. 2 - Among the Hurons; vol. 3 - Among the Algonquins. In addition to the Relations, the author relies on Parkman, Winsor and numerous other authorities, but cites to Parkman more often than to the others. -- Francis A. Miniter Mesure is Medicine þauh þou muche ȝeor[n]e. Al nis not good to þe gost þat þe bodi lykeþ, Ne lyflode to þe licam þat leof is to þe soule. William Langland, The Vision of Piers Plowman Passus I, lines 33 - 35 |
