The chapter on Lamy's { first bishop of Santa Fe} trip to Rome to attend a session on the infallibility of the pope is not only educational but very amusing---the arguments amongst the bishops almost lead to fisticuffs in some cases and being ejected from meetings in others. Lamy was an interested bystander.I highly recommend this book mostly because of the feats accomplished in spite of great distances in the West and hardships endured that were just a matter of life at that time. This man was a real hero who traveled thousands of miles on horseback or more commonly on the back of a donkey to fulfill his missions. Not your run of the mill biography.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
