Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Reissue. Minor wear to corners. Binding tight and square, pages clean, bright, and unmarked. 2003 Trade Paperback. xv, 448 pp. Father Killoren gives in this book a picture of the plight of the Native American peoples in the U.S., and of the work among them of Jesuit missionary Pierre Jean D…eSmet. Beginning with the founding of the United States and focusing on the period of DeSmet's active missionary life (1823-73), Fr. Killoren examines the government's unfulfilled treaty obligations, the destruction of Indian land, and the subsequent devastation brought about by disease and famine. It is a story filled with immense tragedy and irony, and one wherein the government seemed to view either extermination or complete assimilation as the only policy options.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. Condition is AS NEW in a hard cover. DJ is AS NEW. Come, Blackrobe: De Smet and the Indian Tragedy by John J. Killoren, S.J., is a biography of Jesuit missionary Pierre Jean De Smet that interweaves his life and work with a broader historical account of th…e plight of Native American peoples during the 19th-century American westward expansion. The book examines the U.S. government's unfulfilled treaty obligations, the destruction of Native American lands and resources, and the devastating impact of disease and famine. Synopsis The book covers the period from the founding of the United States through De Smet's active missionary life, which spanned from 1823 to 1873. De Smet, a Belgian Jesuit, arrived in St. Louis and soon developed strong friendships with Native American tribes in the Plateau and Upper Missouri regions, earning their trust and the name "Blackrobe". Author John J. Killoren uses De Smet's life as a lens to explore the immense tragedy of US-Indian relations. De Smet was a pragmatic advocate for Native American rights, deeply troubled by the "irrational and often inhuman policies imposed on the tribes by ignorant, land-hungry, ethnocentric Eastern politicians". The narrative highlights De Smet's work as both a missionary and a diplomat striving for peace, contrasting his advocacy with the official government policy that often seemed to offer only extermination or complete assimilation as options for Native populations. Reviews and Themes Advocacy for Native Rights: The central theme is De Smet's role as a trusted and effective advocate for Native American rights during a time of cataclysmic change in the American West. Government Betrayal: Reviewers note that the book provides an unflinching look at the American government's subjugation of the native population and its failure to honor treaty obligations. Cultural Conflict: The narrative explores the clash between European and Indigenous worldviews and the tragic consequences of westward expansion on the "golden age of their buffalo culture". Historical Contribution: According to a Library Journal review, the book is a "worthy contribution to Western history" that benefits Native studies and history collections, chronicling a beloved missionary's role during a time of great tragedy.
