What it is
Annual reports from missionaries among the Huron, Iroquois, and Algonquian peoples, describing customs, languages, epidemics, torture, and their own deaths.
Why it lasted
The single richest source for seventeenth-century northeastern North America, and read in Europe as gripping serial literature.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
