Navajo As Seen by the Franciscans, 1898-1921 A Sourcebook

This volume covers the remarkably productive first decades of the Franciscan missions to the Navajo, during the ministry of Father Anselm Weber, from the arrival of the first missionaries in 1898 to Fr. Anselm's passing in 1921. Its 43 chapters are divided into six parts: Beginnings, Indian Policy, Early Ministry 1901-1910, Navajo Land, Among the People 1911-1920, and Navajo Customs and Character. Supplemented by 16 rare black and white photographs, this reference work is a fascinating glance into the lives of two cultures forever changed by each other.Bahr, Howard M. is the author of 'Navajo As Seen by the Franciscans, 1898-1921 A Sourcebook', published 2004 under ISBN 9780810849624 and ISBN 0810849623.
