In the 1640s eight Jesuits met a terrifying death at the hands of native antagonists. In 1930 they were canonized as North America's first saints. The Death and Afterlife of the North American Martyrs illuminates these seminal acts of violence and charts their ever-changing, controversial legacy, or "afterlife," across almost four centuries.
