"France and England in North America, Part II: The Jesuits in North America in…" by Francis Parkman is a historical work published in 1867. This second volume chronicles the French Jesuit missionaries who arrived in Canada in 1632, documenting their experiences in New France. Drawing extensively from Jesuit letters and reports, particularly those of François Le Mercier, Parkman reconstructs the missionaries' encounters with indigenous peoples and their struggles to establish a religious presence in the wilderness of seventeenth-century North America.

While the infant colonies of England still clung feebly to the shores of the Atlantic, events deeply ominous to their future were in progress, unknown to them, in the very heart of the continent. It will be seen, in the sequel of this volume, that civil and religious liberty found strange allies in this Western World.
