Dialogue on the Frontier

Catholic and Protestant Relations, 1793-1883

By: Margaret C. DePalma

A discussion of the expansion of Catholicism in the West Dialogue on the Frontier is a remarkable departure from previous scholarship, which emphasized the negative aspects of the relationship between Protestants and Catholics in the early American republic. Author Margaret C. DePalma argues that Catholic-Protestant relations took on a different tone and character in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. She focuses on the western frontier territory and explores the positive interaction of the two religions and the internal dynamics of Catholicism. When Father Stephen T. Badin arrived in the Kentucky frontier in 1793, intent on expanding Catholicism among the pioneers, he brought only his faith and courage, a capacity to work long hard hours, and an understanding of the need for meaningful interaction with his Protestant neighbors. He established the groundwork for the later arrivals of Edward D. Fenwick, the first bishop of Cincinnati, and Archbishop John B. Purcell. The interaction between these priests and the frontier Protestant community resulted in a dialogue of mutual necessity that allowed for the growth of the region, the nation, and the church. The ministries and stories of these three priests are representative of the problems the Catholic Church faced in overcoming anti-Catholic sentiment and the solutions it found in its efforts to lay a permanent foundation in the West. This book will be of great interest to scholars of the early republic and religious life and of the urban landscape of the Midwest.

Remembering Margaret Mitchell, Author of Gone with the Wind

By: Lucille Thompson Love,Linda Bourgeois Davidson,Mary Ellen DeBarbieri Kozuch,Margaret Mitchell,Lucille Alladio Busey

A collection of letters between Margaret Mitchell & Lucille Busey providing glimpses into the lives of these women & their families during the war years, 1938-1946. "Scarlett O'Hara may be the best-known fictional heroine in history, but what about the woman who created her? In these letters we gain much insight into the thinking & beliefs of Margaret Mitchell. We learn that, in stark contrast to the vain & self-seeking Scarlett, Mitchell was deeply concerned about others. This collection is MUST reading for those who want a personal glimpse into the character & thinking of the creator of the most successful novel of all time."--James A. Autry, Author of: Love & Profit, Nights Under a Tin Roof, Life After Mississippi. "Much has been written about Margaret Mitchell, author of the bestselling novel of all times. But little is known about the Margaret Mitchell who was passionately concerned about the education & well-being of the people of her beloved Southland. This small but significant grouping of letters & other documents illustrates, in a charming fashion, Mitchell's love for libraries & her even stronger love for the people of her native Georgia."--Thomas L. Camden, Head, Hargrett Rare Book & Manuscript Library, University of Georgia.
