Praise for Crosses in the Sky "Bourrie looks at how such early encounters between French colonists and missionaries and Indigenous Peoples continue to resonate in those same relationships." --Quill & Quire Praise for Mark Bourrie "Bourrie's book positively sings . . . [ Big Men Fear Me ] is thoroughly researched and the prose is clean and engaging . . . McCullagh deserves to be known . . . He made The Globe the dominant voice in English Canadian journalism. Bourrie's biography does him full justice." -- Globe and Mail "There are many threads to untangle here and Bourrie--journalist, academic, and lawyer--unpicks them all. Spanning the first half of 20th-century Ontario, [George] McCullagh's life and times become an engrossing tale of ambition, politics and bipolar illnessit's like little else we're likely to read this year . . . It was a tumultuous life, and Bourrie tells it with wit and humour." --Nancy Wigston, Toronto Star "This is a joy of a biography . . . Bourrie, a historian whose last book brought explorer Pierre Radisson to life, has done right by McCullagh, and not just with the marvellous title. Canada doesn't like tall poppies. It didn't end well. But what a ride it was." --Heather Mallick, Toronto Star "A remarkable biography of an even more remarkable 17th-century individual ... Beautifully written and endlessly thought-provoking." --Maclean's "Bourrie's writing is grounded in a strong sense of place, partly because of his own extensive knowledge of the land and partly because of Radisson's descriptive storytelling abilities . . . a valuable and rare glimpse into 17th-century North America." -- Canadian Geographic, Praise for Crosses in the Sky "Crosses in the Sky is dramatic and enthralling . . . Bourrie has done more than any other Canadian historian writing for a general audience to disinter the root causes of degenerating settler-Indigenous relations and disrupted Indigenous societies in the 400 years since Brébeuf's death. And he has done it with attention-grabbing panache." --Charlotte Gray, Globe and Mail "Bourrie's latest, like its Charles Taylor Prize-winning predecessor, Bush Runner, focuses on the clash between European and Indigenous cultures in 17th-century colonial North America. Here, it's the events leading to the violent ruin of Huronia, traditional home of the Huron-Wendat people, as they were experienced by the French Jesuit missionary and mystic Jean de Brébeuf." --Emily Donaldson, Globe and Mail "In 2019, Mark Bourrie published Bush Runner, a biography of the adventurer Pierre-Esprit Radisson that was 'compelling, authoritative, not a little disturbing--and a significant contribution to the history of 17th-century North America,' as I wrote at the time. The same can be said about Bourrie's latest, Crosses in the Sky: Jean de Brébeuf and the Destruction of Huronia . . . In reinterpreting the Jesuit's martyrdom against the backdrop of Huronia's destruction, Bourrie presents a revisionist history." --Ken McGoogan, Toronto Star "Crosses in the Sky paints a detailed and nuanced portrait of that destruction, enriching our modern understanding of a time and people who have been stereotyped or simply ignored for too long." --Ottawa Review of Books "Bourrie looks at how such early encounters between French colonists and missionaries and Indigenous Peoples continue to resonate in those same relationships." --Quill & Quire Praise for Mark Bourrie "Bourrie's book positively sings . . .

In reinterpreting the Jesuit''s martyrdom against the backdrop of Huronia''s destruction, Bourrie presents a revisionist history." --Ken McGoogan, Toronto Star "In Crosses, the first secular biography of Brébeuf, Bourrie takes the accepted Sunday school version and ''humanizes'' it. Here, the Jesuits aren''t quite so noble, the Hurons are not so pure, and the Iroquois are no longer one-dimensional villains . . . This is a ripping yarn in the classic sense, with plenty of action--epic canoe voyages, battles, and of course, martyrdom--and it marks Bourrie''s second foray into the early history of the French in Canada." --Ian Coutts, Zoomer "Crosses in the Sky paints a detailed and nuanced portrait of that destruction, enriching our modern understanding of a time and people who have been stereotyped or simply ignored for too long." --Ottawa Review of Books "Bourrie looks at how such early encounters between French colonists and missionaries and Indigenous Peoples continue to resonate in those same relationships." --Quill & Quire Praise for Mark Bourrie "Bourrie''s book positively sings . . .

Synopsis
A Globe 100 Best Book of 2024 From the bestselling author of Bush Runner: The Adventures of Pierre Esprit-Radisson This is the story of the collision of two worlds. In the early 1600s, the Jesuits-the Catholic Church's most ferocious warriors for Christ--tried to create their own nation on the Great Lakes and turn the Huron (Wendat) Confederacy into a model Jesuit state. At the centre of their campaign was missionary Jean de Bréeacute;beuf, a mystic who sought to die a martyr's death. He lived among a proud people who valued kindness and rights for all, especially women. In the end, Huronia was destroyed. Brébeuf became a Catholic saint, and the Jesuit's "martyrdom" became one of the founding myths of Canada. In this first secular biography of Brébeuf, historian Mark Bourrie, bestselling author of Bush Runner: The Adventures of Pierre-Esprit Radisson , recounts the missionary's fascinating life and tells the tragic story of the remarkable people he lived among. Drawing on the letters and documents of the time--including Brébeuf's accounts of his bizarre spirituality--and modern studies of the Jesuits, Bourrie shows how Huron leaders tried to navigate this new world and the people struggled to cope as their nation came apart. Riveting, clearly told, and deeply researched, Crosses in the Sky is an essential addition to--and expansion of--Canadian history., A Globe 100 Best Book of 2024 From the bestselling author of Bush Runner: The Adventures of Pierre Esprit-Radisson This is the story of the collision of two worlds.
