This work chronicles the travels and experiences of the author among the North American Indians from 1652 to 1684, highlighting his interactions and significant events encountered during this tumultuous period. The opening of the book sets a gripping tone for Radisson's narratives, showcasing his harrowing capture by the Iroquois shortly after his arrival in Canada. Radisson recounts a fateful outing with comrades for fowling, which spirals into a chaotic altercation resulting in the death of his companions and his subsequent abduction. Described in vivid detail, he experiences the brutal customs of his captors, their initial suspicions, and the eventual grudging acceptance he encounters as he navigates his captivity. This portion of the text establishes a foundation for understanding Radisson's journey, as he moves from being a captive to gaining insights into the lives and cultures of the Indigenous peoples, setting the stage for further exploration in the subsequent voyages detailed in the book.
