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).
