Saint among Savages tells the remarkable story of St. Isaac Jogues, a French Jesuit who was killed by Mohawks while serving as a missionary in New France. Coming from a upper middle class life in Orleans, he knew from an early age that he wanted to be a priest and serve abroad as a missionary to risk his life in order to save souls. Along with several others, collectively known as the North American Martyrs, he followed his dreams and met death in the American wilderness. Living with the Huron people in what is now Ontario, he was captured by Mohawk warriors and tortured and held captive for over a year. He escaped back to France with help from the Dutch in New York, and remarkably insisted on going back to New France, even though he knew what he might be facing. Besides Jogues' life there is also a lot of material about the lives and customs of the Native American peoples who lived along the St. Lawrence River.

This is an abridged English version of a biography of the French Jesuit missionary and martyr, Saint Isaac Jogues, SJ. Its author, Martin J. Scott, has adapted his version based on the English translation by John Gilmary Shea of an original French biography by Félix Martin, entitled "Le R. P. Isaac Jogues, de la Compagnie de Jésus, premier apôtre des Iroquois" (Paris, 1873). Félix Martin also wrote a similar work entitled "Relation abrégée de quelques missions des pères de la Compagnie de Jésus dans la Nouvelle-France" (1852), which is itself a French translation of a 17th-century Italian historical account of the French Jesuit missions and missionaries in New France by Francesco Giuseppe Bressani entitled "Breve relatione d'alcune missioni de' PP. della Compagnia di Giesù nella Nuova Francia" (Per gli Heredi d'Agostino Grifei, 1653).

Mohawk Saint is the story of Catherine Tekakwitha, a Mohawk woman born at a time of cataclysmic change, as Native Americans of the northeast experienced the effects of European contact and colonization. A convert to Catholicism in the 1670s, she embarked on a physically and mentally grueling program of self-denial, aiming to capture the spiritual power of the newcomers from across the sea. Her story intersects with that of Claude Chauchetiere, a French Jesuit who became convinced that Tekakwitha was a genuine saint. Today Tekakwitha is considered the first Native American saint and has a wide following in the Americas.
