A copy of a booklet titled ‘Historical Sketch: St. Labre’s Catholic Indian Mission’. The publication outlines the history of the mission serving the Northern Cheyenne Indians at the Tongue River Agency in Montana. It notes that management of the mission was officially entrusted to the Capuchin friars of the Mount Calvary Province of St. Joseph by a papal decree dated 26 July 1926. The illustrated text was compiled by Father Emmanuel Roets OFM Cap., and edited by Father Alexis Gore OFM Cap. and published in Detroit, Michigan, in 1927. The top of the cover features a manuscript inscription that reads, ‘With Fr. Emmanuel’s Compliments’.
