Page vii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Perhaps the most pleasant duty in finalizing this manuscript is the opportunity to thank all those who have generously contributed to its completion. My thanks must go first to James Clifton, C.F.X., of the College of Santa Fe, for everything. At the University of San Francisco Lowell Cohn, Ph.D., revived my flagging spirits, taught me everything I know about the verbal critique of writing, and served as mentor, friend and my role model as a successful writer, writing teacher and all round wonderful human being. Peter Carroll, Ph.D., generously contributed not only his perceptive historical perspective and particular knowledge of American religious history, but his incredibly precise editorial eye. Anne Barrows, Ph.D., encouraged me when I first considered writing a biography. Two members of the San Francisco Jesuit Community also deserve special mention. Luis Quihuis, S.J. patiently helped me to explore the Hispanic perspective on Machebeuf's work in New Mexico, Colorado, and Arizona. Cornelius M. Buckley, S.J., kindly graced me with his remarkable scholarship and his extensive knowledge of French ecclesiastical history. In terms of content, I am indebted to those historians who forged the trail and smoothed my passage. The scholarship and impeccable thoroughness of Paul Horgan, especially in his biography of Jean Baptiste Lamy, cannot be underestimated. W.J. Howlett provided not only his personal insights into Machebeuf's character, but the biography that inspired Willa Cather's
