About This Item
New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, ( 1975 ). First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/fine. Octavo, 523 pages, cloth
Signed by Horgan on an inserted leaf (as was often done by the bookstore chain, Kroch's & Brentano's, in Chicago). A notable biography of this remarkable hero-priest, a cleric who was made a bishop at a young age, and sent into the wilds of New Mexico. This has been called the "definitive" biography by historian Horgan, who had already been awarded a Pulitzer Prize and a Bancroft Prize for his earlier work. Some of its base here were documents not previously seen from the Vatican archives.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
