Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life of Archbishop Hughes, (First Archbishop of New York): With a Full Account of His Life, Death and Burial; As Well as His Services in All Pursuits and Vocations, From His Birth Until His Death
Possessing superior intellectual abilities, his mind and ambition could not rest content with the humble and limited sphere in which he found himself placed, and as soon as he had completed his engagement with his em ployer he sought and obtained admission into the Catholic Theological Seminary of Mount St. Mary's, at Emmetts burg, Maryland. Speaking of this period of his life, the Archbishop, in a speech delivered in Dublin during one of his last visits to the old country, remarked: I was borne westward to-another country beyond the Atlantic Ocean. In that country I had an opportunity of improving my education, for legislation there had not at tempted to monopolize and appropriate to itself the key of knowledge; and there, although a Roman Catholic, I was made a freeman and an American citizen long before the Catholic Emancipation act was passed by the British Parliament.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book narrates the multi-faceted life of John Hughes, New York's first Archbishop. From his devout Irish Catholic upbringing to his pivotal role in the nation's politics and education, this American's story parallels the nation's struggles and victories throughout the mid-19th century. The author chronicles Hughes' humble beginnings as a farmer's son, through his work as a gardener, eventual theological studies, and achievements elevating Catholic education in a heavily Protestant culture. Beyond his spiritual duties, Hughes' patriotic counsel and diplomatic mission to Europe during the Civil War solidifies his position not only as a prominent religious figure but as a notable American patriot. The author argues that Hughes' unwavering faith, combined with his progressive and outspoken nature, indelibly inscribed his legacy as an influential pioneer in a time of both strife and innovation.
