Product Description
Monignor Stone is a native of eastern oregon and a lifetime member of the Catholic Church. Born in Athena and raised in The Dalles, his 77 years span over half of the century and half of that time has passed since Bishops Blanchet and Demers offered the first Mass at Fort Walla Walla.

Product Description
Adapting in Eden presents the history of the first 150 years of the Oregon archdiocese. Begun in 1838 by European and North American missionaries, the archdiocese once included the entire northwest from the Rockies to Alaska.The authors tell the story of how that vast and improbable archdiocese came into being, then gradually shrank in geographic size and increased in membership and complexity.Although a minority, Catholics played leading roles in Indian affairs and colonization.During the following decades, they were instrumental to the development of social, health, and educational services for the region's rapidly expanding population.By focusing on the colorful personalities and administrative styles of Oregon's archbishops over time, the authors have delineated this important part of the Northwest tapestry. ...
