Footprints on the Frontier: A History of the Sisters of Saint Joseph Concordia, Kansas is a comprehensive book that delves into the history of the Sisters of Saint Joseph, a Catholic religious congregation that was established in Concordia, Kansas in the late 19th century. Written by M. Evangeline Thomas, a member of the congregation, the book chronicles the lives and work of the sisters, who were dedicated to serving the people of Kansas and beyond.The book begins with the founding of the congregation in France in the early 17th century, and follows its members as they traveled to America to establish schools, hospitals, and other institutions in the Midwest. The author details the challenges the sisters faced as they worked to establish themselves in a new country, and the impact they had on the communities they served.Throughout the book, Thomas highlights the individual stories of many of the sisters, including their struggles, triumphs, and contributions to the congregation and the wider world. She also explores the role of the sisters in the development of the Catholic Church in Kansas, as well as their involvement in social justice issues such as civil rights and immigration.Footprints on the Frontier is a fascinating and inspiring account of the Sisters of Saint Joseph's history, and a testament to the dedication and perseverance of the women who made up this remarkable congregation. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the Catholic Church in America, or in the history of women's religious orders.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
