FATHER PANDOSY,ย is a well researched historical narrative that will take you from Pandosy's early years of training in Marseille, to his North American adventures and finally, to the end of his life on a cold night in the interior of British Columbia. It is an epic story, full of drama, hardship, and the faith of one man.
In the words of the author, "His life reads like an adventure novel featuring one of the first discoverers of the Western frontier. His epic story reveals itself in his youth, his voyage across the Atlantic, his long journey across North America, and his endless travelling around virtually uncharted territory. The facts related in this book are based mainly on Jean-Charles Pandosy's letters, which have a typically Provencial flavour, even when he wrote them by candlelight in a makeshift cabin, braving the icy cold, far away from the chirping of cicadas. He was a charming, sincere man, full of brotherly love for his flock, and was one of the great missionaries who lived out their outstanding adventures in the Far West of the 1850s."
