| Summary | "The Jesuit Relations and Allied Documents, Vol. 4: Acadia and Quebec, 1616-1629" edited by Reuben Gold Thwaites is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume is part of a larger series documenting the travels and explorations of Jesuit missionaries in New France, specifically focusing on the early 17th century period in Acadia and Quebec. The work presents firsthand accounts and letters that detail the missionaries' experiences, challenges, and interactions with Indigenous peoples and European settlers. The opening of this volume sets the stage by providing a preface and a synopsis of the various documents contained within. It introduces the story of Father Pierre Biard, who recounts his journey and the trials experienced during conflicts with the English, including their captivity and the struggles faced while attempting to establish themselves in New France. It describes the progress of the Jesuit mission in relation to the local Indigenous populations and highlights the challenges posed by territorial disputes. This segment not only lays the groundwork for understanding the missionaries' efforts but also illustrates the historical context of early colonial interactions in North America.
