A History of the Roman Catholic Community in the United States (Galaxy Books)
Written by one of the foremost historians of American Catholicism, this book presents a comprehensive history of the Roman Catholic Church in America from colonial times to the present.
This book is a great resource for names, dates, places & fairly brief descriptions of events in American Catholic history. At times it is like browsing a phone book because the descriptions, analysis, summaries etc are so brief.
I am taking a course in church history and this is the book we are currently using. I find that the text gives a good view of what catholic have had to face here in the US.
