St. Ignatius Mission on the Flathead Indian Reservation in western Montana was a bustling place in the early 1890s. Each year well over three hundred Native American students attended the schools and over a thousand tribal members and Indian visitors camped at the mission for the Christmas; Easter; and St. Ignatius Day celebrations. The mission was also a training center for aspiring Jesuit priests. Here Indian students and parishioners learned useful skills and received spiritual consolation; even as the missionaries worked to undermine valuable aspects of Salish and Kootenai culture.

Academic not polemic; dry informationBy Andy HatfieldI heard David Barton speak and was hooked; I wish he was my History teacher. The book was a bit more dry and redundant than I was looking for; but I gave it to a friend who ate it up. The information was interesting and deep; and he held to the topic. It was not polemic; just academic.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Patriotism at its best!By B. CollinsThis book is a wonderful book on patriotism and the American establishment.
