Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs Historical and Edifying, of a Missionary Apostolic: Of the Order of Saint Dominic Among Various Indian Tribes and Among the Catholics and Protestants in the United States of America Whenever the pen of the historian traces in merited colorings the work of the Catholic Church, during the middle decades of the nineteenth century, in Michigan and in Wisconsin, in Illinois and in Iowa, a picture surely is there of singular beauty of characterization, of singular power of inspiration - that which delineates the personality and the achievements of Samuel Charles Mazzuchelli. Great priests, great missionaries were at work in laying the foundations of the marvelous structure that today is the Catholic Church in the North Middle States of the American Union. We recall the names of saints and heroes - Baraga of Marquette; Henni and Kundig of Milwaukee; Loras and Pelamourgues of Dubuque; Cretin, Galtier and Ravoux of St. Paul. The list, however, were not complete, did not the reading repeat the name of Mazzuchelli. Mazzuchelli was the peer of the best and the most memorable - the peer in virtues that compose the great priest, in deeds that brighten the passage of the great missionary. More yet - Mazzuchelli is unique among the men whom we account as our Fathers in the faith - unique in this, that among them he was first on the ground, first to turn the ploughshare. Others came later to take up the work he had begun, to direct and foster the growth of what he had planted. At his entrance into his labors Mazzuchelli was the solitary priest, from the waters of Lakes Huron and Michigan to those of the Mississippi River, across the wide-spreading prairies and forests of Wisconsin and of Iowa.
