The Last Blackrobe of Indiana and the Potawatomi Trail of Death

From the author of Roman: Unparalleled Outrage comes a true story of a French attorney-turned missionary priest, Benjamin Petit, and his mission to the Diocese of Vincennes, Indiana. Under the urging of Bishop Simon Brute, Petit joined the northern Indiana Potawatomi tribes in 1837, a year before their forced removal west. McMullen retells the story of Petit, who traveled with the Potawatomi and became part of their story. ?Of all the names connected with this crime, there is one, Father Benjamin Petit, the Christian martyr, which stands like a star in the firmament, growing brighter and it will shine on through ages to come.'?Benjamin Stuart John William McMullen, a native of Vincennes, Indiana, holds a Master's Degree in Theological Studies from Saint Meinrad School of Theology in Indiana.
