Excerpt from The Jesuit Relations and Allied Documents, Vol. 59: Travels and Explorations of the Jesuit Missionaries in New France, 1610-1791; Lower Canada, Illinois, Ottawas, 1673-1677 CXXXIV. After his return to Quebec, Nicolas prepares a memorandum for a missionary who will go to the Seven Islands. He informs his successor how many Indians he will find there, and of what tribes. He must understand the Montagnais lan guage, in order to talk with these savages. Nicolas mentions the scanty natural products of that desolate region, and advises that the French should establish fisheries there, which would be exceedingly profit able to them, and would enable a missionary to labor with the savages during the summer. He adds a list of the Indians who had been baptized in that tribe. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
