Publication Date: 4/12/1971
Publisher: Vintage #V-679
Paperback
4.25 x 7.2 inches, 301 pages
Willa Cather's story of the missionary priest Father Jean Marie Latour and his work of faith in the wilderness of the Southwest is told with a spare but sensuous directness and profound artistry.

Over the next four decades, Latour works gently and tirelessly to spread his faith and to build a soaring cathedral out of the local golden rock -- while contending with unforgiving terrain, derelict and sometimes rebellious priests, and his own loneliness.
Death Comes for the Archbishop shares a limitless, craggy beauty with the New Mexico landscape of desert, mountain, and canyon in which… Read More
