The book is divided into chapters, each of which focuses on a particular missionary or minister and their experiences. Some of the chapters are dedicated to the Jesuits, while others focus on Protestant ministers. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the challenges and dangers faced by these early missionaries, their interactions with Native American tribes, and their efforts to spread Christianity in the New World.The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the lives of these early missionaries and ministers, and the challenges they faced as they attempted to bring their faith to a new and often hostile land.
