Hardback. Zustand: New. Since the nineteenth century, Catholics have believed that the Jesuit martyrs of the Mohawk Valley were put to death at a Mohawk village where the great shrine to them now stands at Auriesville, New York. Catholics have also believed that St. Catherine (Kateri) Tekekwitha was born and partly raised in the same village. This book argues that these beliefs are mistaken. The arguments for Auriesville were hastily formulated on scanty evidence in the 1880s. In fact, strong evidence based on twentieth-century archeology points to another village, located about seven miles up the Mohawk River from Auriesville, as the site of the martyrdoms. This village is known to archeologists as the Bauder Site, and this book presents the evidence for the authenticity of the Bauder Site as the location of the martyr's deaths. Moreover, the dates of occupation assigned to the various castles of the area by archeology show that St. Catherine could not have been born and partly raised at Auriesville. She was born and raised near the Bauder Site and across the Mohawk River a few miles upriver from Fonda, New York. The book concludes that these new locations should not jeopardize the status of the Auriesville Shrine for the Martyrs and the Fonda Shrine for St. Catherine (Kateri). Rather, if the shrines are proactive, they will be able to stay at the heart of Catholic pilgrimage in the Mohawk Valley.…

Hardback. Zustand: New. A Quaker Colonel, His Fiancée, and Their Connections: Selected Civil War Correspondence offers a Northern counterpart to the great collection of Southern family letters published in The Children of Pride. Featuring recently discovered historical material, the book offers a selection of correspondence written by two Pennsylvanians, and their family and friends, between 1861 and 1865. The chief letter writers, Charles Lamborn and Emma Taylor, came from well-connected families in Chester County, Pennsylvania. Their correspondence covers the early years of their courtship until their marriage, a period when Charlie was at the warfront. Charlie's correspondence presents information about his military experiences, providing little known details of the early campaigns of the Army of the Potomac and of the fighting for Chattanooga and Atlanta. Emma's letters describe life on the home front, illuminating how the war affected her household, town, and wider circle of family and friends in Philadelphia, Baltimore, and New York. Both Charles Lamborn and Emma Taylor embraced abolitionism and the war's aim of emancipation. They believed that the pain they suffered during those years purified their love as it also purified the nation. In this volume, Dr. Smith has carefully transcribed, edited, and annotated the Lamborn-Taylor letters, providing important contextual information about both the larger developments in the war and the more localized sphere of Charlie's and Emma's lives.…
