Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

""Two Missionary Priests at Mackinac"" is a lecture and paper written by Edward Osgood Brown in 1889. The book contains two parts: the first part is a lecture about two French Jesuit priests, Father Marquette and Father Allouez, who established a mission at Mackinac Island in the 17th century. The lecture describes their efforts to spread Christianity among the Native American tribes in the area, as well as their interactions with the French fur traders who were also present on the island.The second part of the book is a paper about the parish register of the Mission of Michilimackinac, which was kept by the Jesuit priests from 1695 to 1740. The register contains records of births, marriages, and deaths of both Native Americans and French settlers who lived on or near the island during that time period. The paper provides an overview of the register and its historical significance, as well as some examples of the types of information that can be found within it.Overall, ""Two Missionary Priests at Mackinac"" provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of Mackinac Island and the efforts of the Jesuit priests to bring Christianity to the Native American tribes in the area. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Great Lakes region or the early interactions between Europeans and Native Americans in North America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
