Description
1 ms.; 8.5 x 13 cm. In September 1841, Nicholas Point and his fellow Jesuit, Charles Huet, selected the first site in the Coeur d'Alene River valley near the present town of St. Mary's, Idaho, for the foundation of the second Jesuit mission in the Rocky Mountains. However, after five years of regular Spring floods along the St. Joe's River, it was agreed that the Mission should be moved to this site, the present location of the old mission church at Cataldo. Point sketched the plan and in the Spring of 1846 and he and his three fellow Jesuits built a temporary chapel, a barn, three log houses, and planted wheat, potatoes, and oats.
