Synopsis
From the author
of Roman: Unparalleled Outrage comes the true story of French
attorney-turned missionary priest, Benjamin Petit, and his mission
to the Diocese of Vincennes, Indiana. Under the urging of Bishop
Simon Brute, Petit joined the northern Indiana Potawatomi tribes in
1837, a year before their forced removal west. McMullen retells the
incredible journey of Petit, who traveled with the Potawatomi and
became part of their story.
"Of all the names connected with
this crime, there is one, Father Benjamin Petit, the Christian
martyr, which stands like a star in the firmament, growing brighter
and it will shine on through ages to
come."
-Benjamin
Stuart
