Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Death Comes for the Archbishop" by Willa Cather is a novel published in 1927. It follows a Catholic bishop and priest as they work to establish a diocese in New Mexico Territory during the late 19th century. Based on historical figures Jean-Baptiste Lamy and Joseph Projectus Machebeuf, the narrative weaves together their experiences confronting resistant clergy, befriending indigenous peoples, and navigating the challenges of faith on the American frontier. Through episodic storytelling and vivid characterization, Cather portrays the transformation of a vast, untamed landscape into an organized religious community.
