DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Between 1841 and 1866, more than 500,000 people followed trails to Oregon, California, and the Salt Lake Valley in one of the greatest mass migrations in American history. This collection of travelers’ accounts of their journeys in the 1840s, the first volume in a new series of trail narratives, comprises excerpts from pioneer and missionary letters, diaries, journals, and memoirs—many previously unpublished—accompanied by biographical information and historical background. Beginning with Father Pierre-Jean de Smet’s letters relating his encounters with Plains Indians, and ending with an account of a Mormon gold miner’s journey from California to Salt Lake City, these narratives tell varied and vivid stories. Some travelers fled hard times: religious persecution, the collapse of the agricultural economy, illness, or unpredictable weather. Others looked ahead, attracted by California gold, the verdant Willamette Valley of Oregon, or the prospect of converting Native people to Christianity. Although many welcomed the adventure and adjusted to the rigors of trail life, others complained in their accounts of difficulty adapting. Remembrances of the Oregon, California, and Mormon Trails have yielded some of the most iconic images in American history. This and forthcoming volumes in The Great Medicine Road series present the pioneer spirit of the original overlanders supported by the rich scholarship of the past century and a half.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →A gripping story of action in the Old West from Clay Fisher, a five-time Spur Award-winning author and recipient of the Levi Strauss Award for Lifetime Achievement. He was a legend with a blood price on his head both north and south of the border; a renegade, black West Point man now living among the hostile bronco Apaches, and waging a war of vengeance against two governments. But when a courageous Mestizo priest with a desperate dream needed a man of strength to fulfill his vision, there was only one warrior fierce enough to turn to. It was the one they called the Black Apache.

It comprises five chapters along with an introduction and an epilogue. The historical focus is on the Jesuits' institutional developments placed in front of a background of American religious, cultural, and social change. A thread of investigation running through the entire book is into the relationship of Jesuit activities in America to those in Europe, and then by the twentieth century (as US Jesuits are increasingly assigned to "foreign missions") to those around the globe, especially Latin America. The five chapters are organized chronologically and are divided as follows: the colonial period (mid-sixteenth to mid-eighteenth century), the suppression and restoration (late eighteenth/early nineteenth century), the nineteenth century, the early twentieth century, the late twentieth century. An epilogue offers reflections on the present and future in light of the past"--

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Black Robe, an account of the 17th-century encounter between the Huron and Iroquois the French called "Les Sauvages" and the French Jesuit missionaries the native people called "Blackrobes," is Brian Moore's most striking book. No other novel has so well captured both the intense--and disastrous--strangeness of each culture to one another, and their equal strangeness to our own much later understanding.
