The Role of the Dutch in the Iroquois Wars. A good article by Peter Lowensteyn detailing the part played by the Dutch colonists along the Hudson River in the Iroquois Wars of the 17th century.

The Jesuit Relations and Allied Documents. This site gives full access to the English translation of the Jesuit Relations as originally compiled and edited by Reuben Gold Thwaites in the early 20th century. Since each volume is scanned onto a single HTML document, it is considerably easier to access than the National Library of Canada site [see below]. However, it does not offer the original French text and contains typographical errors.

The Jesuit Relations and the History of New France. In association with the National Library of Canada, this site gives access to the complete Jesuit Relations on-line. The major drawback to this site is that each page must be downloaded individually as a PDF file. Thus, if you're going to use it for research, you'll need to have a ready supply of patience.

Peter John De Smet, S.J. (1801-1873). A wonderful site containing information, letters, books, illustrations, and other valuable data regarding the intrepid Jesuit missionary and American pioneer. The site also contains some disturbing links detailing how the modern members of the Society of Jesus are not living up to the heroic example set by their predecessors.
