This well-preserved copy of Willa Cather’s masterpiece, “Death Comes for the Archbishop,” offers readers a window into the American Southwest of the late 19th century. Published in 1927, the novel was inspired by the lives of Jean-Baptiste Lamy, the first Archbishop of Santa Fe, and his vicar, Joseph Projectus Machebeuf. Cather’s poetic prose and deep understanding of the region’s history and culture bring to life the struggles and triumphs of these pioneering priests as they sought to establish the Catholic Church in the harsh, beautiful landscape of New Mexico.

Widely regarded as one of Cather’s finest works, “Death Comes for the Archbishop” is a testament to her skill as a storyteller and her ability to capture the essence of a time and place.

It offers a unique opportunity to experience a classic work in its original, unabridged form, and to appreciate the enduring power of a story that transcends time and place.
