Abstract

Edwards’ Life of David Brainerd is a rare, almost forgotten document depicting life in pre-Revolutionary America during the period when religious enthusiasm swept the colonial frontier. From 1743 to 1747 Brainerd had been a missionary to the Indians. Riding alone, thousands of miles on horseback, he kept a journal of daily events that he continued until the week before he died, at the age of twenty-nine, in Edwards’ house.Published in 1749, the Life of Brainerd became a spiritual classic in its own time. As the first popular biography to be published in America, it went through numerous editions and has been reprinted more frequently than has any other of Edwards’ works. But what has not until now been known is that Edwards made drastic alterations in the original text. He shaped the narrative events to fit his own needs, presenting Brainerd as an example of a man who by example and deed opposed the rationalist, Arminian stance. Because the Yale edition is the first to print that portion of Brainerd’s manuscript that survives, set in parallel columns with Edwards’ text, these alterations can readily be discerned.This edition of The Life of David Brainerd, the first complete, fully annotated edition ever to be compiled, includes related correspondence as well as an endpaper map of Brainerd’s travels. The editor’s introduction describes the place of Brainerd’s diary in Edwards’ life and thought, and provides ample historical background.

Abstract

Cet ouvrage raconte la vie du missionnaire jésuite Pieter-Jan De Smet S.J. (1801-1873) qui était connue des Indiens d'Amérique du Nord sous le nom de Great Black Skirt. Il a quitté sa ville natale de Termonde sans dire au revoir à sa famille, après l'appel de Charles Nerinckx à se rendre en Amérique pour le travail missionnaire. De Smet a été ordonné prêtre en Amérique et faisait régulièrement la navette entre l'Amérique et l'Europe pour obtenir de l'aide. Au cours de ses voyages, il a parcouru 290 000 km. Il a d'abord décrit le lac Desmet, Wyoming, et a vu et décrit Independence Rock. Il a agi au nom du gouvernement américain dans leurs négociations avec les Indiens, y compris la conférence de paix avec les Sioux et leur chef Sitting Bull à Fort Rice en 1868 et convaincu Sitting Bull d'accepter le traité de Fort Laramie. Il mourut à Saint-Louis.

Abstract

This book tells the story of how the 16th-century religious conquerors of America attempted to change the belief systems of the Native Americans. To what degree did they succeed or fail? And why? The European protagonists and frontline representatives of the new religion in the spiritual struggles were the Jesuits (members of the Society of Jesus) who, although latecomers to America, soon became the most vocal and visible spokespersons. Invasion and military power are nothing new to minority societies. But how did they handle the waves of spiritual conquerors that came ashore in the 16th century? “Why have you come here?” are the words of a Florida Indian chief to a Jesuit missionary. The reply enlightens and at the same time demonstrates the renaissance certainty of the Europeans. From their first encounters with the Indians of La Florida, through Mexico, New France, the Paraguay Reductions, Andean Peru, to contact with Native Americans in pre-revolutionary Maryland, the Jesuits were ubiquitous in North and South America, with missions, preaching, and public theater, with the goal of changing what the Native American thought about God. Drawing on an abundance of primary material, the book also integrates the latest in published scholarship. The Jesuit Archives of Rome, the Archivo de Indias, Seville, besides those in Madrid and South America, have been tapped to throw light on the spiritual conquest of America.
