"Come, Blackrobe. De Smet and the Indian Tragedy" by John J. Killoren is a historical account of the life of Father Pierre-Jean De Smet, a Belgian Jesuit missionary who played a pivotal role in the interactions between Native American tribes and European settlers in the 19th century. The book explores De Smet's mission among the Native Americans, his relationships with various tribes, and the complex and often tragic consequences of colonialism and missionary efforts. Killoren offers a detailed portrait of De Smet's experiences, his efforts to mediate between Native Americans and the U.S. government, and the impact of his work on the indigenous communities. This book provides valuable insight into the intersection of religion, colonialism, and indigenous history in America.
