God's Heroes in America #nn

This anthology issue contains at least two biographical stories of Catholic figures in American history. "Lady in Gray" chronicles Mother D'Youville, founder of the Community of Grey Nuns, born Marguerite La Jemmerais in 1701 near Montreal, Quebec, whose order established the first free day school for Catholic education in the United States and expanded to other cities. A second story depicts a missionary encounter between French colonial soldiers and Native Americans, showing tensions between French protection of indigenous peoples and colonist expansion, with a military officer defending the Indians as friends while a Native leader warns of colonist land theft.
