A Brief History of the Diocese of Baker City

203 pp; printed

A copy of Fr. Dominic O’Connor, ‘A Brief History of the Diocese of Baker City’ (Baker: Diocesan Chancery, 1930). This copy is signed by Father Dominic with a dedication to Fr. Edwin Fitzgibbon OFM Cap., Irish Capuchin Provincial Minister. The book features an introductory preface written by Fr. Edward J. Kelly. In the foreword, Father Dominic explains that Bishop Joseph McGrath commissioned him in July 1928 to write the history of the Diocese of Baker City for its silver jubilee. Although delayed by his appointment as pastor of the Cathedral Parish, O’Connor produced this definitive history of the regional diocese, focusing on the years from 1903 to 1928.
