At the End of the Santa Fe Trail (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781417985050)

""At the End of the Santa Fe Trail"" is a historical non-fiction book written by Sister Blandina Segale, an Italian-born nun who worked as a missionary in the American Southwest during the late 1800s. The book chronicles Sister Blandina's experiences and adventures as she travels along the Santa Fe Trail, a famous trade route that connected Missouri to New Mexico. Throughout the book, Sister Blandina recounts her encounters with various Native American tribes, Mexican settlers, and American pioneers who were also traveling along the trail. She also describes her efforts to establish schools, hospitals, and orphanages in the communities she visited, often facing resistance and hostility from those who opposed her work. One of the most notable stories in the book involves Sister Blandina's encounter with the infamous outlaw Billy the Kid, whom she helped to spare the life of a man he had threatened to kill. This story and others like it provide a unique perspective on the often-violent and lawless frontier of the American West. Overall, ""At the End of the Santa Fe Trail"" is a fascinating and inspiring account of a remarkable woman's life and work in a challenging and dangerous environment. It offers valuable insights into the history and culture of the American Southwest during a pivotal time in its development.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
