Death Comes for the Archbishop: A Timeless Tale of Faith, Friendship, and the Spirit of the American Frontier

⛪ A land without roads. A mission without borders. A story of devotion and endurance.

In Death Comes for the Archbishop, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Willa Cather offers a sweeping and luminous novel inspired by the true story of two French priests sent to establish a diocese in the rugged frontier of New Mexico in the mid-1800s. Through the eyes of Father Jean Marie Latour and his loyal companion Father Vaillant, we witness a slow but powerful transformation—of landscapes, lives, and beliefs.
