At the End of the Santa Fe Trail, first published in 1932 (and reprinted in 1948), is Sister Blandina Segale's account of her life in the southwestern U.S. from 1872 to 1892. Sister Blandina (1850-1941), born in Italy and emigrating with her family to Cincinnati when she was a child, worked with the poor, the sick, immigrants, prisoners, and Native Americans while in Trinidad, Colorado, and in Santa Fe and Albuquerque, New Mexico (and later in Ohio). The book is based in large part on her journal and on the letters she exchanged with her sister Justina, who was also a religious sister in Ohio. At a time when lawlessness and brutality were the norm, Sister Blandina displayed courage, tough-mindedness, and a deep religious faith in service to the less-fortunate. Recent efforts have been made by the Archdiocese of Santa Fe to have Sister Blandina made a saint, and in November 2015, the Archdiocese closed its inquiry and will present its findings to the Vatican for review and verification. Included in this new edition from Pathfinder Books are the original Author's Note and Foreword from the 1932 book, and Chapter Notes and Bibliography from the 1948 edition.

22 of 24 people found the following review helpful. What the Wild West was really like! By Agnes M. Penny Here is a first-hand account of life in the wild west. This is the diary of the unflappable and determined Sister Blandina recounting her experience when, as a young nun, she is sent to a mission out West. Let me tell you, she is an amazing woman! Strong, brave, and absolutely unwavering, she knows how to get things done and how to deal with all sorts of tough characters. Along with hundreds of other nuns, Sr. Blandina helped to civilize the West, although history and popular Western fiction largely ignores the contributions of these brave women. This book should be required reading for anyone who wants to know what the Wild West was truly like. Why has America left unacknowledged the crucial role that Catholic nuns had in making the West a more Godly place?
12 of 12 people found the following review helpful. A Good History of Trinidad, Colorado By Maria This journal written by a Catholic Sister of Charity living in the Southwest as a missionary in the late 19th century is riveting. It's a first-hand account of life at the end (and near the end) of the Santa Fe Trail. Her exploits(including preventing lynchings, convincing brigands not to scalp the innocent, talking Indians in war paint not to attack a campground)are described in matter-of-fact terms, as she simply records her life as it unfolded. She would not have described herself as a heroine, but heroine she was, even as she went about her daily life building a school, teaching children, taking care of indigents who were sick, and visiting the jailed (including Billy the Kid). It's a clear-eyed slice of life in Trinidad, Santa Fe, and Albuquerque in the days of the Wild West.
8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. People wrapped in history By Ronald J. Dulle A hard to get book with a surprisingly disarming story about the pioneers of New Mexico"s history over the memorable trail.
