The Conquest
of Canada
A Novel of Discovery
From this book:
AT THE START OF THE 1600s
a few men & women from France
come to settle in Canada.
The native peoples, treated as
equals, welcome them.
A great social experiment is
begun, then falters. The colonists
find themselves in a fight for
survival.
IN THE NEW LAND
the monk-priests find the suffering
they sought, but the mission to
conquer the hearts & minds of
the natives, fails.
Faith & endurance are tested by
failure, torment, & martyrdom,
in a wilderness ruled by the Devil.
The Jesuits’ only hope is to find
the bone of an Irishman dead 500 years.
