Last year I read a fasciating book about Fr. Peter de Smet, missionary to the Native Americans of the west. He fought hard most of his life to help them and protect them as much as he could from exploitation. He converted many natives in the Idaho, Montana, and other mountainous regions of the west. Then there are the brave Jesuit missionaries of the Great Lakes region, and all the hundreds of unsung heroes who did what they could to spread the gospel.
