Using valuable primary source material, most of which is previously
unpublished, and some of which has been translated from the
Flemish-Dutch and French, editors Mary Eggermont-Molenaar and Paul
Callens introduce the Van Tighem brothers to today's reader.
Missionaries Among Miners, Migrants, and Blackfoot : The Vantighem
Brothers Diaries, Alberta 1875-1917, contains the transcribed
diaries of brothers Leonard and Victor Van Tighem, Belgian Catholic
missionaries in Alberta between 1874 and 1917. Leonard, an Oblate
priest, served in a number of parishes in southern Alberta, some of
which he helped establish. Victor, a member of the Belgian Van Dale
congregation, served on the Peigan and Blood reserves, in the
southern part of the province. Their diaries are interspersed with
letters from family and friends and letters and articles by
contemporary bishops and fellow priests and lay-brothers. The Van
Tighems' diaries offer a fascinating glimpse of life during
Alberta's early settlement and growth -- the immigration boom, the
development of Lethbridge and the Peigan reserve, railroads, the
mining industry, and the impact of World War I are all part of the
historical backdrop of the brothers' diaries.
