The Minds of the West
In the century preceding World War I, the American Middle West drew thousands of migrants both from Europe and from the northeastern United States. In the American mind, the region represented a place where social differences could be muted and a distinctly American culture created. Many of the European groups, however, viewed the Midwest as an area of opportunity because it allowed them to retain cultural and religious traditions from their homelands. Jon Gjerde examines the cultural patterns, or "minds," that those settling the Middle West carried with them. He argues that such cultural transplantation could occur because patterns of migration tended to reunite people of similar pasts and ...
Medicine for Wildcat
Of interest to elementary school children as well as to adults, this novel is based on the true story of a missionary priest and a young Menominee Indian in Wisconsin in the 1830s. Wildcat, baptized as Michael, becomes companion and translator for another young man, a saintly frontier priest, the remarkable Father Samuel Mazzuchelli, Order of Preachers.

From a dissolute beginning to a life of dedicated service for his Catholic faith, Michael and his friend, the "Blackrobe," come to life in the vivid narrative recreated here.

The Making of American Catholicism argues that regional and transnational relationships have ...

American Catholics
A sweeping history of American Catholicism from the arrival of the first Spanish missionaries to the present "Tentler does justice to James Joyce's quip that Catholicism means 'here comes everybody.' This is the story of everybody--lay people, sisters, priests--who was part of the church in the United States, a story insightfully analyzed and admirably told. A definitive synthesis." --James M. O'Toole, author of The Faithful This comprehensive survey of Catholic history in what became the United States spans nearly five hundred years, from the arrival of the first Spanish missionaries to the present. Distinguished historian Leslie Tentler explores lay religious practice and the impact of cle...
