The book Life Of Charles Nerinckx: Pioneer Missionary Of Kentucky And Founder Of The Sisters Of Loretto At The Foot Of The Cross was written by William Joseph Howlett and published in 1915. The book is a comprehensive biography of Charles Nerinckx, a Belgian missionary who played a significant role in the early history of the Catholic Church in Kentucky. Nerinckx arrived in Kentucky in 1804 and worked tirelessly to establish churches and schools in the region. He founded the Sisters of Loretto at the Foot of the Cross, a religious order dedicated to education and missionary work. The book provides a detailed account of Nerinckx's life and work, including his struggles and successes as a missionary in a new and often hostile environment. The book also explores the social and political context of Nerinckx's work, including the challenges of slavery and the conflicts between Catholics and Protestants in the region. Howlett draws on a range of sources, including letters and diaries, to provide a rich and detailed portrait of Nerinckx and his legacy. Overall, Life Of Charles Nerinckx provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of a pioneering missionary and the early history of the Catholic Church in Kentucky. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of religion in America, particularly the role of Catholicism in the early years of the nation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
