Saint Among Savages: The Life Of Isaac Jogues (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781436693127)

Saint Among Savages: The Life Of Isaac Jogues is a biography written by Francis Talbot about the life of a French Jesuit missionary named Isaac Jogues. The book details Jogues' journey from his early life in France to his missionary work in North America, where he encountered and lived among various Native American tribes. Jogues' experiences were marked by a great deal of adversity, including being captured and tortured by the Mohawk tribe, which resulted in the loss of several of his fingers. Despite these challenges, Jogues remained committed to his faith and continued to work as a missionary, eventually being martyred for his beliefs. The book provides insight into the life and work of a significant figure in the history of Catholicism in North America, and offers a glimpse into the complex relationships between European colonizers and the indigenous peoples of the continent.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
