The German Catholic immigrants who founded St. John the Baptist
parish on the central Minnesota prairie effected a remarkable
transfer of tradition to their new environment. Fred W. Peterson
reveals how they inherited folk culture, aesthetic values, and
religious beliefs which were directly embodied in the brick
farmhouses, dairy farms, and churches they built between 1858 and
1915. Building Community, Keeping the Faith is compelling reading
for students of architecture, religion, immigration, and ethnicity
-- indeed for anyone interested in the complex influence European
culture exerted on the development of America.
