| Description: | The Beatification on June 21, 1925 of the eight martyrs of the Society of Jesus, whose careers are sketched in this volume, occurred three hundred years prior to when the Order to which they belonged began its labours in the wilderness of New France in 1625. Five of the martyrs, Blessed Jean de Brebeuf, Gabriel Lalemant, Antoine Daniel, Charles Garnier, and Noël Chabanel, were slain in the land of the Hurons, the section of the Province of Ontario bathed by the waters of Georgian Bay. The other three martyrs, Blessed Isaac Jogues and his companions, René Goupil and Jean de la Lande, fell in the Mohawk valley. This territory, which is a portion of the present state of New York, was, in the seventeenth century known as the home of the Iroquois. [Suggest a different description.] |
