Book Description
Stearns County, Minnesota, contains a generous sprinkling of small communities with handsome Catholic churces. Most of these towns were formed as, and still are, predominately Catholic settlements. No county in Minnesota, or even in the United States, compares in density of Catholic hamlets to Stearns County. With a population approximately two-thirds Catholic, this county contains fifty Catholic churches, the majority of which were built between 1871 and 1930. This is the story of those churches and the people and times that built them.

The World They Made Together
Author: Mechal Sobel
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 9780691006086
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 380
Book Description
The Southern Awakenings were a climax to a long period of intensive racial interaction, and, as a result, the culture of Americans--blacks and whites--was deeply affected by African values and perceptions. The interpenetration of Western and African values took place very early, beginning with the large-scale importation of Africans into the South in the last decades of the seventeenth century. In spite of a significant interpenetration of values between the two races, the whites were usually unaware of their own change in this process. Nevertheless, in perceptions of time, in esthetics, in approaches to ecstatic religious experience and to understanding the Holy Spirit, in ideas of the afterworld and of the proper ways to honor the spirits of the dead, African influence was deep and far-reaching.
