Ellen Walworth tells the life of Kateri Tekakwitha, the Mohawk girl born in the Mohawk Valley in 1656 who was baptized by the Jesuit missionary de Lamberville and died in 1680 at the Christian mission near Montreal. Around her story she sets the Iroquois villages, the wars with New France and the work of the Jesuit missions.

A Catholic biography of 1891, written long before Kateri was canonized in 2012; its view of the Mohawks is of its time. Download the free EPUB.
