Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Historical Sketch of the Mission of New York and Canada On the sth of Jan, the eve of the Epiphany, the island of Guadaloupe hove in sight. Here the ship cast anchor, and our fathers once more gladly trod'the earth, having been almost two months at sea. The following day, Rev. Fr. Chazelle had the happiness of opening his new career by preaching, at the request of the parish priest, on Christ's manifestation to the Gentiles. But the regions to which he and his little band were to bring the good tidings of the gospel were still far distant; so they reembarked without delay. Fifteen days more on the waves brought them to New Orleans, the terminus of their journey by, sea. There still remained upwards of 1600 miles of overland travel.
