Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The diary of Bishop Frederic Baraga: first bishop of Marquette, Michigan translated by Joseph Gregorich and Rev. Paul Prud'homme; edited and annotated by Regis M. Walling and N. Daniel Rupp. Translated from the original diary which was chiefly written in German, with passages in English, French, Slovene, Chippewa, Latin, and Italian. On July 27, 1852, when Father Frederic Baraga heard the first indication of his nomination to the Bishop of Upper Michigan, he began to keep a 'journal' or diary. It was intended exclusively as a private document for his own reference. The three volumes cover the time between July 27, 1852, and July 16, 1863. In Bishop Baraga's 'Eulogy' his friend and administrator, Rev. Edward Jacker, stated an additional journal existed with evidence that Bishop Baraga wrote 'in the journal which he kept for many years' just before he left for the Second Plenary Council in Baltimore in October 1866. That volume was lost as are any additional volumes.…

"You request me to send you some Indian prayer-books; but your Indians are all Otawas and I have not one Otawa book left.Next year a new Otawa edition will be made.

Wermers was a rector at St. Andrew 1865-1868. Bishop Barga left Marquette to attend the Council of Baltimore in the fall of 1866 and while there he suffered a severe stroke.
