This was ihe^only stone fortified mis-ion in the Huruncountry.but there were many pallisaded forts and mis^iions. Three miles east of Sainte Marie was St. Ijouis, and some lu'lcs east of this again wa.t St. Ignace, and to the south and South- east St^ Michel and St. .Joseph. .Vll these pallisaded t<itt'ns were destniyed by the Iruqiiis in 1648-49, and in the tall of l(?4y Fathers Brebocuf and LHlemun;, who at that time were at St. Louis, fell viciiins to the terrible invaders. .\fter this Sainte Marie w.vs burned mid abandoned and the scattered remnants of Hurona was followed to St. Joseph, one of the Christian Islands.
