Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Records of the American Catholic Historical Society of Philadelphia, Vol. 33 This Index, however, tells us that the said priest had gone West from Baltimore and had labored in Illinois and Kentucky; inquiry of the Diocesan Secretary of Louisville or Chicago would probably have elicited the desired information. It is not claimed, however, that every such question can be answered from this source; for the Society has published but a small portion of the information needed for a complete history of the Church in North America. Let us hope and strive, then, that the good work be continued until every scrap of extant information be transferred to the pages of the Records. Nevertheless these volumes are a veritable treasury of Catholic historical knowledge. Their most important contents may be divided into three classes, namely, historical compositions, transcripts of church registers, and other records and letters from bishops, priests, and Catholic laymen. Geographically, Philadelphia and Pennsylvania occupy the largest space in the first and second categories, while Baltimore, Charleston, Kentucky, and Mississippi Valley, Boston, and Quebec are prominent in the third. Acadia, Maine, the dioceses of Albany and Ogdensburg, New York; Wilmington, Delaware; Omaha, Nebraska; California, Oregon, and Texas fare very well, and to a less extent Iowa and Ohio, in the first. Goshenhoppen, Pennsylvania, known in later times as Churchville, and lastly as Bally, boasts of the oldest register in the Thirteen Colonies; and this, as well as its successors to the early years of the nineteenth century, are reproduced, while a biography of Father Bally, S. J., continues the history down to our own time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
