Description

[the Angelus Press description](https://angeluspress.org/The-Life-of-Father-De-Smet-SJ-Apostle-of-The-Rocky-Mountains-1801-1873):> What a story! Fr. Pierre De Smet (1801-1873) is mentioned in U.S. history books almost as a footnote, but there was in the mid-19th century America no single person the American Indians trusted as they did this Jesuit Priest. He was "more powerful than an army" at a huge treaty conference of U.S. officials and the Western Indian nations near Laramie in 1851, and he was the chief negotiator at another, with the Sioux, in 1868.
