Abstract
The purpose of this theory is to treat of the missionary activities of some outstanding missionaries laboring in the Lake Superior Region of the United States beginning with the arrival of the French in that vicinity and ending with the episcopate of Bishop Frederick Baraga. The narrative will show the influence these men exerted both on the Indians and on the Whites, and it is hoped that it will convey the lesson that the Church has been ready to send her teachers to the most remote parts of our country when there was hope of doing good for souls.
