Jogues, Isaac 1607-
Missionary; born at Orleans, France, Jan. 10, 1607; became a Jesuit at Rouen in 1624; was ordained in 1636; and, at his own request, was immediately sent to Canada.
He was a most earnest missionary among the Indians on both sides of the Lakes.
Caught, tortured, and made a slave by the Mohawks, he remained with them until 1643, when he escaped to Albany, and was taken to Manhattan.
Returning to Europe, he was shipwrecked on the English coast.
He returned to Canada in 1646, where he concluded a treaty between the French and the Mohawks.
Visiting Lake George, he named it St. Sacrament, and, descending the Hudson River to Albany, he went among the Mohawks as a missionary, who seized and put him to death as a sorcerer, at Caughnawaga, N. Y., Oct. 18, 1646.
