I was fascinated by the Jesuit Diaries. These are the diaries of French missionaries and their first encounters with native Canadians. The movie Black Robe was based on these. I don't know if they are collected in one volume.

Something like this:

The Jesuit Relations And Allied Documents: Travels And Explorations Of The Jesuit Missionaries In New France, 1610-1791
