This is a book my mother wanted to write but never found time to do
it. It is about The Patriarch Priest of Kentucky, Father Elisha
John Durbin, the Catholic priest who was also known as The Apostle
of Western Kentucky. When my mother died, I continued her work of
researching the Durbin family ancestry, and we managed to acquire a
lot of information on the beloved Father Durbin. He was a saintly
priest whose life story needs to be memorialized for the world to
read. This frontier priest outranked most of the clerics of his
day. Father Durbin was a man of tremendous personal, physical and
spiritual strength. By the end of his nearly lifelong ministry he
estimated that he had traveled more than half a million miles on
horseback. Over time, Father Durbin developed a craggy appearance
due to climatic vagaries. Through the course of his ministry he
built at least fifteen churches. During the Civil War his priority
was attending to the souls of both Union and Confederate soldiers.
He was a saintly man by most definitions.
