Excerpt from Fifth Report of the Bureau of Archives for the Province of Ontario
The first essential to a serious and successful treatment of Huron history is a knowledge of the country inhabited and the situation of the principal centres of population. The reconstructed Map of The Huronia of the Relations, which accompanies this publication, will, it is hoped,' supply this want. Part First of the present volume is a sequence of dry proofs vindicating the correctness of the village sites as set down on the Map. The derivation of all the Indian names of Huron villages is given either in the text or in the Appendix, for oftentimes their meaning helps to fix their position or corroborates the documentary evidence.
Part Second deals with the arrivals and departures Of the missionaries, their stations. In Huronia from year to year, and incidentally with the opening-of new village missions. It records, under their proper dates, the destruction of these Christian centres, while mention is made of the heroic men who fell victims of their zeal on these momentous occasions.
