The Jesuit Relations and Allied Documents is a monumental collection of primary source material documenting the activities of Jesuit missionaries in New France from 1610 to 1791. Volume 45 continues this comprehensive series, presenting original French, Latin, and Italian texts alongside English translations and extensive notes. Edited by Reuben Gold Thwaites, this volume offers invaluable insights into the interactions between the Jesuit order and the indigenous populations of North America.

Readers will find detailed accounts of missionary travels, explorations, and encounters with various native tribes. The texts reveal the Jesuits' efforts to convert and educate, while also shedding light on the cultural and social dynamics of the period. This collection is essential for historians, anthropologists, and anyone interested in the early colonial history of North America and the role of religious missions in shaping its development.
