Synopsis
Uncover a long-running debate about faith, trade, and empire. This study examines how accusations of fur trading against Jesuit missionaries surfaced, were debated, and were ultimately addressed in New France. It sheds light on the delicate balance between religious duty and economic pressures in the colonial era.
This edition frames the controversy around beaver pelts, warehouse monopolies, and the effort to separate missionary work from commerce. It explores how Jesuit letters, relations, and contemporary criticism shaped a complex dialog about ethics, loyalty, and influence in a growing colony.
- How fur trading accusations arose and how they were defended or refuted.
- Limits and tensions between missionary work and commercial activity.
- The roles of key figures in shaping policy and public opinion.
- Context for understanding the political and religious landscape of New France.
Ideal for readers of colonial history, church history, and studies of early North American relations, this book provides a nuanced view of a pivotal era.
