Excerpt from The French Refugee Trappists in the United States: Read Before the American Catholic Historical Society of Philadelphia, on February 23, 1886
Students are proverbial for their jolly times. Place them where you will, they will try to enjoy themselves. Situated as were the searchers after lore at Pigeon Hills, they no doubt held high carnival. Short study hours and long sleeping hours, few prayers and many meals, hunting, fishing, games and gymnastics, is the programme that naturally suggests itself to one's mind in trying to picture their probable daily life.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the experiences of the French refugee Trappist monks who arrived in the United States in 1803. Fleeing religious persecution in France, the monks sought refuge in America and established several communities across the country. The author traces their journey, from their initial settlement in Pennsylvania to their eventual departure in 1814. The book highlights the struggles and hardships faced by the monks, as well as their resilience and determination to establish a religious presence in a new land. It examines the challenges of adapting to a different culture, the difficulties of finding suitable locations, and the setbacks caused by disease and death. Through the monks' experiences, the book sheds light on the broader history of religious immigration in the United States, and the contributions of these early settlers to the development of Catholicism in the country. It offers a unique perspective on the role of religion in shaping the American experience.
