About this book

In 1851 a French priest, Jean Marie Latour, is sent to the newly American territory of New Mexico to build a Catholic diocese out of a vast, half-wild land of desert, pueblos, and old Spanish missions. With his loyal friend Father Joseph Vaillant beside him, he spends the rest of his life among the Hopi, Navajo, and Mexican people, contending with corrupt clergy, immense distances, and the slow patient work of faith. Willa Cather based the two missionaries on real historical figures and shaped their story as a series of luminous, quietly told episodes rather than a driving plot. Published in 1927 and often ranked among the finest American novels, it is a serene meditation on landscape, friendship, and a life well spent. Free to download as a PDF and EPUB.
