As indicated by its title, this study by Elisabeth C. Davis spotlights the hitherto little-explored history of Catholic Sisters in conducting Native American boarding schools. Rather than attempting a comprehensive survey of the more than seventy boarding schools run by women religious, Davis sensibly focuses on four case-studies from the mid-nineteenth century through the first two decades of the twentieth century: the Sisters of Lorettorsquo;s Osage Missions in Kansas; the Sisters of the Holy Child of Jesus work with the Ojibwe nation in Avoca, Minnesota; the Sisters of St. Francis Pawhuska Mission to the Osage in Oklahoma; and the Sisters of St. Joseph school for the Quechan at Fort Yuma, California. A key strength of this work is the authorrsquo;s voluminous primary research in church and convent archives, federal bureaucratic records, and contemporary newspapers, matched by an impressive command of the published historiography. Not only illuminating a neglected aspect of a timely topic, Davisrsquo;s volume invites further scholarly research in the field.
