| An American Abbot: Boniface Wimmer, O.S.B., 1809-1887 |
This volume is a newly-revised and expanded version of An American Abbot, the biography of Boniface Wimmer, O.S.B., originally published in 1977 by the Archabbey Press. In preparing this edition, Jerome Oetgen has thoroughly reexamined the primary sources, added material from additional sources, and taken into account the results of schol-arly research on American Catholic and Benedictine history published since 1976. The achievement of Boniface Wimmer, the father of the Benedictine pres-ence in the United States, has been generally under-estimated in the history of American Catholicism. This biography assesses his lasting importance.
