Black Gown and Redskins - Adventures and Travels of the early Jesuit Missionaries in North America (1610 - 1791)

“Black Gown and Redskins” by Edna Kenton brings to life the daring journeys of the early Jesuit missionaries across North America from the early 1600s to the late 1700s. Through vivid accounts of travel, hardship, and encounter, the book follows men of the cloth as they move through unfamiliar landscapes, navigate cultural differences, and attempt to spread their faith amid danger and uncertainty. What emerges is a compelling blend of adventure and history: missionaries pushing into remote regions, learning from the people they meet, and confronting the political and social upheavals of the time. Kenton's narrative highlights not only the missionaries' zeal and resilience, but also the complex relationships. Black Gown and Redskins - Adventures and Travels of the early Jesuit Missionaries in North America (1610 - 1791) is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1896.
