Father De Smet: Pioneer Priest Of The Rockies is a biographical book written by Helene Margaret. The book tells the story of Father Pierre-Jean De Smet, a Jesuit priest who played a significant role in the history of the American West in the 19th century. De Smet was born in Belgium in 1801 and came to the United States as a missionary in 1821. He dedicated his life to spreading Catholicism among the Native American tribes of the West, and he traveled extensively throughout the region, establishing missions and schools. The book chronicles De Smet's many adventures, including his encounters with Native American leaders such as Sitting Bull and Blackfoot chief Crowfoot. It also describes his efforts to negotiate peace between warring tribes and his role in the establishment of the Oregon Trail. The book also explores De Smet's personal life, including his struggles with illness and his deep devotion to his faith.Throughout the book, Margaret provides vivid descriptions of the landscapes and people that De Smet encountered on his travels. She draws on a wealth of primary sources, including De Smet's own writings and letters, to bring his story to life. The book is a fascinating account of a remarkable man who played a crucial role in the history of the American West.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
