Produktbeschreibung
Desloge Chronicles, A Tale of Two Continents is a monograph of an amazing family's journey supported by genealogical summaries which provide solid provenance. Situated in France and America, this is an authentic historical narrative built around one family's 600 letters dating from 200 years, providing live-action reality present at France & the French Revolution and the American Frontier. Based upon one of the largest bodies of vibrant correspondence written from the turn of the 1800s, we are able to peer into the scene of teeming wildlife and Native American Indians in the young America expanding from this family's French nobility on the young American frontier and then blooming into titanic industrialists and caring naturalists and philanthropists. Within this monograph, historical fact, studied historical research, and expanded narrative craft a compelling legend of the prominent Desloge family. More than simply cold chronology of facts, these are "action figures".

Autorenporträt
As a Franciscan, I am often asked, "exactly what is a Franciscan; are you a monk? While not a monk nor ordained, I am a chaplain and lay theologian; I am active in lay ministry, and I'm a member of an 800 year-old religious order founded by Francis of Assisi, then no saint but a devoted disciple and apostle who discovered, quite separately from his privileged upbringing, the compassion for people through the joy of Christ. Francis, and to be a Franciscan, embodies the spirituality of Poverty, Humility, Incarnation, Love, & Simplicity. It is to fully embrace the gentle nature of Christ's Galilean ministry of that very early church which was then known as the Way. Over the course of my time in immersion at a hermitage house in urban Bridgeport, Connecticut which I created, and flowing from my time in postulancy, novitiate and then as an Associate / Companion in this religious order, I prepared weekly missives for our faith community, each revealing a distilled, almost sermon-type, message on Franciscan Spirituality as I have come to understand it. Francis is a moving target in trying to corner his universal ideals into modern, daily, practical deployment...to isolate tenets we can grasp, improve our own hearts, and by some miracle, improve the world.
