This Vision book for youth 9 - 15 years old tells the thrilling story of one of America's greatest missionaries who came down from Canada with explorer Louis Joliet to explore the mighty Mississippi River, the "great river" bordered by Indian tribes who killed white men on sight.
Of the few who had dared explore this immense waterway, none had lived to return and report where it emptied. If he could travel to the mouth of the "great river", Fr. Marquette hoped to obtain new lands for France and new souls for Jesus Christ. He braved the dangers of tomahawks and tortures to bring the Word of God to the Indians of the New World. Rapids, floods, Indian superstitions, tribal warfare - these are only a few of the obstacles Father Marquette and Louis Joliet encountered in trying to meet their challenge. Illustrated.
A biography of the French Catholic priest who arrived in Canada in 1666 to serve as a missionary, and became part of the first group of white men to travel down the Mississippi River and back.

Father Marquette and the Great Rivers
Father Marquette was an educational story of a missionary from France. Let me just say that...well, it was a book. It is a book that I read and enjoyed but probably won't read again. Though I normally do enjoy biographic stories, this one was a little deadpan. The story was interesting, but the execution was blah.
Louis Joliet was my favorite "character". The problem I had with Father Marquette was the fact that he was a bit "over-saved". To the point of where he wasn't afraid to die...and it was creepy. Though I understand that the book was about Father Marquette, I wish it had elaborated on Louis.
Overall, the book was clean, well-written, and interesting. I recommend for all ages for there is no profane content. I'm sorry for such a short review. God bless!
