Apostle of the Chippewas

This is the biography of Most Reverend Frederic Baraga, a missionary to the Indigenous peoples in the Upper Peninsula from 1830 to his death in 1868. It was written in 1932 by Joseph Gregorich, one of the founders of the Bishop Baraga Association. The Bishop Baraga Association was established to work towards the canonization (or sainthood) of Bishop Baraga. As Joe explained, "The aim of this book is to treat the life of Bishop Baraga in a briefer and more popular form and to refer only to those more outstanding activities of his which possess a greater degree of interest for the general reader."
