AT QUEBEC There are Hurons, remains of the ancient Hurons, defeated by the Iroquois, in Lake Huron. There is also south of the Chaudière (River), five leagues from Quebec, a large village of Christian Abenakis. The Hurons & Abenakis are under the Jesuit Fathers. These Hurons have staid at Quebec so as to pray God more conveniently and without fear of the Iroquois. The Abenakis pray God with more fervor than any Indians of these countries. I have seen and been twice with them when warring; they must have faith to believe as they do and their exactitude to live well according to principles of our religion. Blessed be God! They are very good men at war and those who have give and still give so much trouble to the Bostoners. AT THREE-RIVERS Wolves and Algonquins both sides of the river. AT MONTROYAL OR VILLE-MARIE |
