Omschrijving

Father Marquette is a biography written by Reuben Gold Thwaites in 1902. The book tells the story of the life of Father Jacques Marquette, a French Jesuit missionary who explored and evangelized the Great Lakes region of North America in the 17th century. The book begins with Marquette's childhood in France and follows his journey to the New World, where he established missions and made important discoveries. Thwaites describes Marquette's interactions with Native American tribes, including the Illinois, Miami, and Huron, and his efforts to convert them to Christianity. The book also covers Marquette's exploration of the Mississippi River, which he followed as far south as Arkansas, and his eventual death in present-day Michigan. Thwaites draws on historical documents and Marquette's own writings to create a detailed and engaging portrait of this important figure in early American history. Overall, Father Marquette is a fascinating look at the life of a pioneering missionary and explorer, as well as an important contribution to the history of the Great Lakes region.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
