The Padre On Horseback: A Sketch Of Eusebio Francisco Kino, Apostle To The Pimas is a biographical account of the life and work of Eusebio Francisco Kino, a Jesuit missionary who dedicated his life to serving the indigenous Pima people of northern Mexico and Arizona in the 17th and 18th centuries. Written by Herbert Eugene Bolton, a prominent historian and scholar of the American Southwest, the book provides a detailed and engaging portrait of Kino's many accomplishments, including his efforts to establish missions, build schools, and promote agriculture and commerce in the region. Drawing on a wide range of primary sources, including Kino's own writings and letters, Bolton paints a vivid picture of the challenges and triumphs that Kino faced as he worked to spread the Catholic faith and improve the lives of the Pima people. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the American Southwest, the history of Catholic missions, or the life and legacy of one of the most important figures in the history of the region.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
