Product Description

Father De Smet: Pioneer Priest Of The Rockies is a biography book written by Magaret and Helene. The book tells the story of Father Pierre-Jean De Smet, a Catholic missionary who dedicated his life to serving the Native American tribes in the Rocky Mountains during the 19th century. The authors provide a detailed account of Father De Smet's life, from his early years in Belgium to his arrival in America and his travels through the wilderness of the Rockies. The book describes the challenges that Father De Smet faced as he sought to establish relationships with the Native American tribes and share his faith with them. The authors also explore the political and social context of the time, including the conflicts between the United States government and the Native American tribes. Through the use of primary sources and personal accounts, the book offers a fascinating insight into the life and work of Father De Smet, a pioneer priest who played a significant role in the history of the American West. Overall, Father De Smet: Pioneer Priest Of The Rockies is an engaging and informative read that will appeal to anyone interested in the history of the American West, Native American cultures, and the Catholic Church's missionary work.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
