Elizabeth Seton is a biography written by Madame de Barberey that tells the story of Elizabeth Ann Seton, the first American-born saint. Seton was born in 1774 in New York City and converted to Catholicism in 1805, despite opposition from her Protestant family. She went on to found the Sisters of Charity of St. Joseph's in Emmitsburg, Maryland, and established the first Catholic parochial school in the United States. Seton's life was marked by tragedy, including the deaths of her husband and several of her children, but she remained committed to her faith and her work until her death in 1821. De Barberey's biography provides a detailed account of Seton's life and achievements, as well as her struggles and challenges along the way. It is a fascinating and inspiring story of a woman who devoted her life to serving others and making a difference in the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
