The Jesuit Relations and Allied Documents

This volume is a compendium of letters and documents written by Jesuit missionaries who worked in New France (what is now Canada and the United States) from 1610 to 1791. The letters provide an intimate glimpse into the daily lives of the Jesuits and the people they encountered, including Native Americans, French settlers, and English colonists. The documents also contain important historical and ethnographic information about the region and the time period, making them valuable sources for scholars and students of North American history.
