When this appointment was announced, the Catholics of Maine were thinking about the approaching centenary. It was fitting that a native of Portland and the first priest of the diocese elected to the Portland see should plan and pre- side over the centenary celebrations. He thought it better to observe the installation of the first Bishop of Portland rather than the erection of the diocese, and so 1955 was declared the centennial year. The decision was a happy one. In the fall of 1954 Edmund S. Muskie was elected governor of Maine. He was the first Catholic in the history of Maine elected to the state's highest office.1 One of the pleasant features of the civic observance of the centenary on the evening of November 8 in the Portland City Hall was the greetings of the State extended to the Catholics by the first Catholic elected Gover- nor of Maine and accepted by the first diocesan priest ap- pointed Bishop of Portland.


As one witnessed this event and next day saw the bishops


1 Governor Muskie was reelected in September, 1956 by a plurality of 56,000 votes.

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN MAINE


from New England's two archdioceses and nine dioceses gather to thank God for the numberless benefits bestowed on the Catholics of Maine during the past years, it really seemed more than a century ago when Bishop Bacon quietly arrived at old St. Dominic's to be installed as the first Bishop of Port- land in the presence of Bishop Fitzpatrick.


BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTES


The printed sources on the Catholic Church in Maine are not abun- dant. For the colonial period and the years when Maine was part of the Boston diocese (1808-1854) The History of the Archdiocese of Boston by Robert Lord et al. (3 vols., New York, 1944) has been consulted frequently. The "Diocese of Portland" by Edmund J. A. Young in the History of the Catholic Church in the New England States (2 vols., Bos- ton, 1899), like most of the diocesan histories of this period, must be used with caution until its information is checked with more reliable sources. The "Diocese of Manchester" by John E. Finan in the same work is, however, a more accurate piece of writing and has been helpful for those years when New Hampshire was part of the diocese of Portland. The best printed source on the diocese is the Maine Catholic Historical Maga- zine which has been described in the chapter of Bishop Louis S. Walsh, its founder.


The major primary source is, of course, the Portland Diocesan Ar- chives (hereafter, PDA) and they have been used extensively. The annual Catholic Directory, the Boston Pilot, the Maine newspapers and city directories have been extremely useful.


In the following paragraphs I have listed the literature that has been helpful in writing each chapter, and will, I trust, be helpful to those who wish to read more extensively on the persons and events described. Only a few references have been made to state and local histories. The author became familiar with most of these histories while preparing his study of Edward Kavanagh and a bibliography on Maine will be found in that work.


I. Catholic Memories from the Colonial Period


Sister Mary D. Mulvey, O.P., devotes one chapter (pp. 13-20) to colonial New England in her French Catholic Missionaries in the Present United States (1611-1791), (Washington, 1936). Parkman's account of the St. Croix colony and St. Sauveur mission will be found in Pioneers of France in the New World and the labors and journeys of Druillettes in The Jesuits in North America. The work of the Capuchins is told by John Lenhart, O. M. Cap., "The Capuchins in Acadia and Northern Maine (1632-1655)," in the Records of the ACHS, XVII (1916) and XVIII (1917), and by George A. Wheeler, Castine Past and Present (Boston, 1896). Besides the two biographies of Rasle mentioned in the text, one by Convers Francis and the other by John Francis Sprague, one will find "The Apostle of the Abenaki" by Henry Schuyler in the Catholic Histori- cal Review, I (1910), 164-174 helpful. The impact of King Philip's War on the Maine Indians is covered in King Philip's War (New York, 1906), by George W. Ellis and John E. Morris. Catholicism in New England to 1788 (Washington, 1936), by Arthur J. Riley gives the reader the anti- Catholic atmosphere and attitudes inherited by Maine.

BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTES


II. Laying the Foundations: 1783-1818


Catholic Missions Among the Indian Tribes in the United States (New York, 1857), by John Gilmary Shea still remains inspiring reading, and The Abenakis and Their History (New York, 1866), by Eugene Vetro- mile gives the reader an understanding of the Maine Indians derived from personal observations of them.


The origins and growth of the Catholic colony in Damariscotta are told in Edward Kavanagh Catholic Statesman Diplomat from Maine 1795-1844 (Francestown, N. H., 1946), by William L. Lucey, S.J. His article "Two Irish Merchants of New England" in The New England Quarterly, XIV (December, 1941) is about James Kavanagh and Matthew Cottrill, founders of the colony.


Madawaska is ably described in Thomas Albert, Histoire du Madawas- ka (Quebec, 1920). Details on the first parish in American Madawaska will be found in Album-Souvenir du Centenaire de la fondation de la Paroisee St-Bruno, Van Buren, Maine 1838-1938, an excellent parish history. For Edward Kavanagh's study of the district, see The Acadians of Madawaska, Maine (Boston, 1902), by the Rev. Charles W. Collins and "Madawaska on the River St. John: New England's Last Frontier," by William L. Lucey, S.J., in Records of the ACHS, LX (September, 1949).


III. Pioneer Priests and Projects


The best sketch of Father Dennis Ryan is by John E. Kealy in MCHM, VIII (May, 1928), 169-186, but this has been corrected and supplemented by information from the Boston archdiocesan archives by Lord. The information on Father Charles Ffrench is scattered. Both Lord and the MCHM were helpful. Bishop Healy gives some details in his Centennial address which can be found in Centennial Celebration An Account of Portland, ed. by J. T. Hull (Portland, 1886), pp. 131-138. Other sources on Ffrench have been indicated in the text. A good study of Fenwick's colony will be found in Catholic Immigrant Colonization Projects in the United States, 1815-1860 (New York, 1939), by Sister Mary Gilbert Kelly, but Lord should be consulted for the bishop's con- cern about a seminary and a college and their relations with Benedicta.


IV. The Jesuits in Maine: Second Phase


There is no study of the Jesuit missions in Maine during the nine- teenth century and the literature on Bapst is nearly restricted to the Ellsworth affair. "Out of the Dusk Father John Bapst, S.J.," by Leonard Kolman, S.J., a chapter in I Lift My Lamp Jesuits in America (Westmin- ster, Md., 1955) is the most recent and the best available sketch of Bapst with the emphasis on the Ellsworth affair. As the title indicates, "Father John Bapst, S.J., and the 'Ellsworth Outrage,'" in Historical Records and Studies, XIV (May, 1920) is limited to the Ellsworth affair. The best material in print on Bapst and his companions will be found in


353


BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTES


the seven articles that were published in the Woodstock Letters, XVII (1888), XVIII (1889), XX (1891) under the title "Fr. John Bapst A Sketch." These articles contain many letters of Bapst which, along with those of his companions, have survived and are preserved in the Mary- land Province Archives at Woodstock College. Many of these unpub- lished letters have been used in this chapter on the Jesuit missions. Since many of the Jesuits assigned to Maine were once stationed at Holy Cross College and the missionaries frequently visited the college, the college archives have helped in establishing many dates and adding some facts about the Maine mission. The House of Yorke (1872), a historical novel by Mary Agnes Tincker is an important source on the character of Bapst and his experience in Ellsworth. Its importance is treated in "The House of Yorke, A Forgotten Source on John Bapst, S.J.," by William L. Lucey, S.J., in the Historical Bulletin, XXXIV (January, 1956), 67-74. The vol- umes by Shea and Vetromile on the Indians help one to understand Bapst's work among the Abenakis.


V. Maine's First Catholic Bishop, David William Bacon, 1855-1874


Printed sources on Bacon are fragmentary. The MCHM is the best and the October 1919 issue is devoted mainly to him and his work in Maine. John Gilmary Shea, History of the Catholic Church, IV, 535-539, and Richard H. Clarke, Lives of the Deceased Bishops of the Catholic Church in the United States, III, 141-152 add but little to what is found in the MCHM. One will find references to Bacon in The Life of John Cardinal McCloskey 1810-1885 (New York, 1918), by John Cardinal Farley and in Forty Years in the United States of America (New York, 1903), by A. Thebaud, S.J. The background of parish trouble that re- sulted in Bacon's pastorate in Brooklyn is given by Thomas F. Meehan, "Pioneer Times in Brooklyn," Historical Records and Studies, II, Part I (1900), 172-191, and one will find sketches of Farnan and Bacon in A Page of Church History in New York St. John's, Utica (n. d.), by J. S. M. Lynch. In the PDA the "Family Record Redmond & Bacon," a record book kept by the bishop, supplied information on his family and rela- tives, and his "Memorandum" book supplied data on the priests in the diocese.


For the work of the Sisters of Mercy Leaves from the Annals of the Sisters of Mercy is invaluable. Volume IV is devoted to their work in the Americas and there are a number of chapters on their work in the diocese of Portland. More information will be found in The Sisters of Mercy in the United States (New York, 1929), by Sister M. Eulalia Herron, and The Sisters of Mercy Historical Sketches 1831-1931 (New York, 1931), by Sister M. Josephine Gately. Supplementary Manual (New York, 1931) should be consulted along with the latter volume.


For the Second Baltimore Council and the Vatican Council, see Ser- mons Delivered During the Second Plenary Council of Baltimore, ... and an Introductory Notice (Baltimore, 1866), and Raymond J. Clancy,

BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTES


C.S.C., "American Prelates in the Vatican Council," Historical Records and Studies, XXVIII (1937), 7-135. The Life of the Most Rev. M. J. Spalding (New York, 1873), by J. L. Spalding has sections on both councils.


VI. James Augustine Healy


Bishop Healy: Beloved Outcaste (New York, 1954), by Albert Foley, S.J., provides us with the needed biography of Portland's second bishop. For Healy's position on the Knights of Labor, secret societies and other national problems one should consult Henry J. Browne, The Catholic Church and the Knights of Labor (Washington, 1949), The Path I Trod The Autobiography of Terence V. Powderly, ed. by Harry J. Carman (New York, 1940), Fergus MacDonald, The Catholic Church and the Secret Societies in the United States (New York, 1946), John Tracy Ellis, The Life of James Cardinal Gibbons Archbishop of Baltimore 1834-1921 (2 vols., Milwaukee, 1952). An Album of the Attorneys of Maine with a Portrait and Brief Record of the Life of Each, ed. by E. C. Bowles (Bethel, Maine, 1902), gives the Catholics in the legal profession during Healy's episcopacy. A contemporary view of the impact of the French- Canadians in Maine will be found in Egbert C. Smyth, "The French- Canadians in New England," Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society (Worcester, 1892). The correspondence and diaries of Charles McCarthy, Jr., in the PDA have been extremely helpful; McCarthy knew all the Portland bishops from Bacon to Walsh. Many of Healy's diaries, including his first which covers his senior year at Holy Cross College, and some other documents are in the Dinand Library, Holy Cross College.


VII. Some Maine Converts.


The sources of information on these five persons are scarce and scat- tered. What have been discovered are here listed for each one.


HENRY C. B. GREENE


The Greene-Taylor correspondence in the United States Catholic His- torical Magazine III (1890) is the best source on Greene's conversion. One will find references to him in Robert H. Lord et al., History of the Archdiocese of Boston (New York, 1944), II, and William Byrne et al., History of the Catholic Church in the New England States (Boston, 1899), I.


JOSUE MARIA YOUNG


The best sketches in print are Richard J. Purcell, "Young, Josue Maria," Dictionary of American Biography, XX (1936), 632, and Richard H. Clarke, Lives of the Deceased Bishops of the Catholic Church in the United States (New York, 1872), II, 514-28. Added information will be found in Francis X. Reuss, Biographical Cyclopaedia of the Catholic Hier- archy of the United States, 1784-1898. (Milwaukee, 1898); Donald C. Shearer, Pontificia Americana (Washington, D. C., 1933); A. A. Lamb-

ing, A History of the Catholic Church in the Dioceses of Pittsburg and Allegheny from Its Establishment to the Present Time (New York, 1880), and Shea, History of the Catholic Church in the United States (New York, 1892), IV, 424-27, Diocese of Erie.


MARY AGNES TINCKER


The best appreciation of Tincker has been written by John Talbot Smith, "Mary Agnes Tincker," Ave Maria, 69 (July 31, 1909), 142-48. Harry Shaw, Jr., did not consult this study in his biographical sketch of Tincker in the D.A.B., XVIII (1936), 560. There are chapters on Tincker and Angelique DeLande in Literary Convert Women (Manchester, N. H., 1928), by Annette S. Driscoll. Excerpts from contemporary reviews of Tincker's novels will be found in A Supplement to Allibone's Critical Dic- tionary of English Literature and British and American Authors (Phila- delphia, 1891), II, 1439-40. A study of The House of Yorke as a source on John Bapst, S.J., will be found in the author's "The House of Yorke, A Forgotten Source on John Bapst, S.J.," The Historical Bulletin (January, 1956), 67-74.


JOHN J. A'BECKET


Biographical data will be found in the American Catholic Who's Who (1911) and The Catholic Encyclopedia and Its Makers (1917). The article on him by Cleveland Moffet in "Authentic Sketches of Living Catholic Authors," Catholic World, 64 (January, 1897), 562-64, is good and, since sources on A'Becket are scant, valuable. Elizabeth Jordan adds important information and a warm appreciation of him in her autobi- ography, Three Rousing Cheers. The Readers' Guide to Nineteenth Cen- tury Periodical Literature lists his writings during the 1890's.


CHARLES EUGENE WOODMAN


Information on Woodman is very scarce. Biographical data will be found in ACWW (1911), and an appreciation of him by one who knew him in "Father Woodman - A Tribute," Catholic World, 120 (January 1925), 514-18, by Henry E. O'Keefe, C.S.P. His writings are listed in the Guide to Catholic Literature, 1888-1940. The diaries of Charles McCarthy, Jr., mentioned in the sketch of Woodman are in the Archives of the Diocese of Portland, Maine.


VIII. A Period of Expansion: 1900-1924


As indicated in the section, the literature on Portland's third bishop, William O'Connell, is fortunately ample. The MCHM is the best printed source on Walsh, but his correspondence and journals in the PDA are rich in information on the man and his work.


IX. The Last Quarter of the First Century.


With the exception of the newspapers there are no important printed sources on Murray and McCarthy. The files of The Church World, the diocesan weekly, record the events of the diocese since 1930. Personal interviews with those who worked and lived with both bishops have been valuable in writing this chapter.
