A History of the Protestant Reformation in England and Ireland (Signed by Father Albert Lacombe)

New York & Montreal, D. & J. Sadlier & Co. 1886. Hardcover. pp. 350. Small 8vo. Black cloth boards with blindstamped title and floral motifs to spine and boards. Title page is present but detached, age-toning to the textblock (remains clean and unmarked), square stamp of the John S. Ewart Memorial library to the ffep, binding remains tight and sound. Overall, very good+. Significantly, this title has been inscribed to John S. [Skirving] Ewart (Canadian lawyer, politician and fervent advocate of independence, who also played an important role in the "Manitoba School Question") from Father [Albert] Lacombe. Himself a prominent man, Albert Lacombe, was an Oblate priest, missionary (b at St-Sulpice, LC 28 Feb 1827; d at Midnapore, near Calgary 16 Dec 1916). A successful missionary to the Cree and Blackfoot, Lacombe used his Indigenous ancestry to gain an entry to the hearts and minds of the Fort Edmonton Métis and Indigenous people in 1852 when he came to serve them. In due course, he either founded or ministered at the Alberta missions of Lac Ste Anne, St Albert (1861) and St Paul des Cris (Brosseau) 1865. After seven years as a travelling missionary among the Indigenous peoples, he moved to Manitoba in 1872 and took over St Mary's parish, Winnipeg. On his return to Alberta in 1882, he became priest of Calgary's St Mary's parish and also served in southern Alberta at Fort Macleod and from his "Hermitage" at Pincher Creek. In 1883, when the Canadian Pacific Railway came into conflict with the Blackfoot, who threatened to block the route across the reserve, Father Lacombe successfully negotiated on behalf of the railway with Chief Crowfoot. In 1894 Lacombe was principal of an industrial school at Midnapore; he initiated the colony of St Paul des Métis in 1895, and in 1909 he started the Midnapore Old Folks' Home. As the church's spokesman for the prairies, he played a significant part in influencing government policy, as well as helping settle the prairies. His love for the Indigenous people never faded. Called by the them "The Man of the Good Heart," he wrote both a Cree grammar and a dictionary. The inscription reads, "To Mr. Ewart, Q.C. the defender of our school question, with the compliments of Father Lacombe. .

The Witch of Goingsnake and Other Stories

Norman and London, University Of Oklahoma Press, 1988. First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover. pp. xv, 165. 8vo. As new in fine dustjacket. Based on Cherokee history, oral storytelling, and personal experience, these stories, taken as a whole, reflect the depth of Cherokee historical experience and the range of contemporary Cherokee life. Several stories, including the one from which the collection takes its name, deal with the spiritual world. In the title story a man and his family are devastated by the evil powers of a tsigli, a witch. In other stories "medicine" is used to more constructive ends. Some of the stories feature human-animal transformations, the ability to become invisible, and the power to manipulate events. In the context of the Cherokee world such stories are not fantasies. They are stories about reality—the reality known to Cherokees. The collection also includes tales of Cherokee "outlaws," one of the most intriguing aspects of Cherokee history to Cherokees and non-Cherokees alike. Set in the days of Indian Territory, before Oklahoma statehood, these stories provide a taste of the wild West, seasoned with Cherokee cultural experience.
