- It is 400 years ago, and the "Black Gowns," French Jesuit priests, are beginning their descent into the forests of Canada, eagerly seeking to convert the Huron-- and courting martyrdom at the hands of the rival Iroquois. Through the eyes of these vastly different peoples-- particularly through those of the grimly pious Father Jean de Brebeuf and the Indian prophetess Born Underwater-- Vollmann reconstructs America's past as tragedy, nightmare, and bloody spectacle.
