| Lake Superior in Michigans Iron country 1800's
Let me here make brief mention of another Lake Superior pioneer of
great singleness of purpose and devotion to his labors in the care of souls:
the late Bishop Baraga, who died at Marquette. This venerable prelate was
a truly apostolic man, who counted neither honor, ease, nor life itself dear,
so that he might faithfully follow in the footsteps of his Divine Master. He
first reduced the Chippewa language to writing and gave it a grammar and
-a dictionary.
