Clad in the black robe of his priestly order and armed only with
a crucifix, for more than a quarter of a century Father De Smet
relentlessly tramped the American frontier to bring peace and
religion to the tribes of the Pacific Northwest and the upper
Missouri River country.
In this biography, Robert Carriker describes De Smet's love for
the great American West and the native tribes who lived there, the
Potawatomis, Flatheads, Coeur d'Alenes, Kalispels, Blackfeet,
Yankton Sioux, and others to whom the Jesuit father carried
Christianity. Soon the man called Black Robe became known
throughout the mountains and plains as a man of peace and a friend
of all Indians.
