SYNOPSIS: Within the tragic story of Old Huronia, with its heroic Jesuit missionaries and the bloody wars of extermination between the Hurons and the Iroquois, is set the colourful life of Etienne Brule, a man deserving long-overdue recognition for his amazing achievements as an explorer. He was also a man whose vicious life ultimately brought him the unenviable distinction of being the first and probably the only white man to be eaten at a Canadian cannibal feast. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. C. W. Jefferys (illustrator). Ex-Library.
