About this product
Product Information
In this succinct dual biography, Laura Chmielewski demonstrates how the lives of two French explorers - Jacques Marquette, a Jesuit missionary, and Louis Jolliet, a fur trapper - reveal the diverse world of early America. Following the explorers' epic journey through the center of the American continent, Marquette and Jolliet combines a story of discovery and encounter with the insights derived from recent historical scholarship. The story provides perspective on the different methods and goals of colonization and the role of Native Americans as active participants in this complex and uneven process.

Reviews
"Laura Chmielewski's new book is a fascinating account of French explorers Marquette and Jolliet, revealing important cultural encounters from this understudied facet of North American history. Written for a broad audience, but thoroughly researched, Marquette & Jolliet: Exploration, Encounter and the French New World allows the reader to see the rich social, cultural, and religious landscapes in New France while portraying a journey that should be taught in every college classroom." - Jeffrey Fortin, Emmanuel College "Laura Chmielewski's beautifully written new book follows Jacques Marquette and Louis Jolliet down the Mississippi River and into the heart of early America. In a style that will impress both historians and a general audience, she transforms their journey into an epic exploration of the spiritual and material lives of French colonists and Native Americans. Reconstructing the new world that they created together, Chmielewski evokes a deeply conflicted and very human history, one defined by the unsustainable tension between the search for cultural synergy and the quest for colonial domination." = John Donaghue, Loyala University Chicago

I am very pleased with the price of this new book (the lowest I found). I'm happy with the prompt shipping. The only problem was that the box was damaged during shipping. The new book itself sustained very minor cosmetic damage, no doubt from rough handling. The seller offered to send me a return label at no cost, which I do appreciate. However, I was able to repair the slight damage very easily. Thanks again for your concern.

Great seller, item as described, fast shipping, highly recommended! One suggestion though: box was slightly torn open and would not have survived rain (likely destroying the book) if left outside a mailbox much longer. A bag or stretch wrap would prevent this.
