Jesuits in Spanish North America #2: Pioneer Black Robes on the West Coast

Peter Masten Dunne

4.9/5 (29848 ratings)

Description:“Pioneer Black Robes on the West Coast” is the second volume of a series which aims to tell the story of the Jesuits in Spanish North America between their arrival in 1572 and the exposure nearly 200 years later. In the first volume of the series, entitled “Educational Foundations of the Jesuits in Sixteenth-Century New Spain”, Dr. Jacobson set forth the coming of the Jesuits to Mexico, the establishment of their educational system, and its geographical spread and institutional development to the end of the century. Dr. Jacobsen‘s volume is concerned primarily with the founding of colleges and the great Colegio Maximo and San Pedro y San Pablo in the city of Mexico, and the extension of educational work among Spaniards and sedentary natives in Central Mexico outside the capital.Here Dr. Dunne takes up the story of the beginning Jesuit missionary work ‘entre infieles’ among the more primitive natives of the West Coast. His volume is devoted to the opening of missions on the Sinaloa River in 1591 by the protomartyr Gonzalo the Tapia, and their advance northward until the Sonora River was reached some for decades later. Father Dunne has depicted an epic story of missionary adventure as it appeared to the actors and their contemporaries, and as interpreted by himself, a sympathetic confrère. It is a stirring drama of missionaries and soldiers (notably El Capitán Hurdaide) laboring harmoniously side-by-side in an effort to plant Christian civilization in heathen America. In these pages the author has brought forth from comparative obscurity a galaxy of notable pioneers, great figures in their time but neglected by modern historians. Tapia, Ribas, Méndez, Pascual, and Martínez in New Spain, to mention only a few, deserve a place in North American history beside Lejeune, Jogues, Brébaeuf, and Lallemand, their celebrated brethren who somewhat later toiled in New France. In the preparation of his narrative Father Dunne has not only used voluminous sources, both published and unpublished, but has personally gone over the terain with which his story is concerned, and has thus enhanced its accuracy and its reality.Several additional volumes in the series, carrying the story forward, have been completed and are awaiting publication, and still others are in preparation. All of them, like the volumes of Drs. Jacobsen and Dunne, and that of Dr. Scheels on Gonzalo the Tapia (published elsewhere), have emanated from the same seminar, “The Round Table”, at the University of California.The publication of the present volume has been made possible by donors who have modestly requested that their names be not made known. -Hebert E Bolton Berkeley, June 22, 1940.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
