Sangrientas guerras entre tribus hasta el exterminio, corsarios ingleses, cazadores de cabelleras, empalizadas, tomahawks, viajes en canoa, ríos cubiertos de hielo, comercio de pieles, zonas inexploradas, predicadores, conversos, mártires... En este libro, el lector podrá asomarse al fascinante relato de la Evangelización en las tierras salvajes de América del Norte. Los franciscanos y, sobre todo, los jesuitas, tuvieron que trabajar como exploradores, arquitectos, lingüistas, médicos, agricultores, ganaderos y geógrafos, todo ello al servicio de su misión principal: llevar la Cruz a los pueblos que aún no la conocían. En las misiones jesuíticas de las zonas que actualmente corresponden al Canadá y al norte de los Estados Unidos, un puñado de hombres llenos de fe soportaron durísimas penalidades para predicar el Evangelio entre hurones, iroqueses, algonquinos y otras muchas tribus indias, recibiendo en algunos casos, la corona del martirio de manos de los mismos indios.
