""Catholics In Colonial America"" is a compilation of articles published in The American Ecclesiastical Review in 1957, written by John Tracy Ellis. The book provides a detailed account of the history of Catholicism in colonial America, covering the period from the arrival of the first Catholic settlers in the late 16th century to the end of the colonial era in the late 18th century. The articles explore various aspects of Catholic life in the colonies, including the establishment of missions and parishes, the role of Catholicism in the political and social life of the colonies, and the challenges faced by Catholics in a predominantly Protestant society. Ellis draws on a wide range of primary sources, including church records, diaries, and correspondence, to provide a comprehensive and nuanced account of the Catholic experience in colonial America. The book is an invaluable resource for scholars and students of American religious history, as well as anyone interested in the history of Catholicism in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
