Joseph Joset, S.J., papers, 1826-2006 1844-1900.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/530498755

A compilation of correspondence, historical studies, memoirs and other primary source materials combined with secondary sources such as biographical accounts and photographs. Collection may be useful for study of early mission history and Indian-White conflict in the Inland Northwest region. Due to his early and long missionary career and his direct involvement in Indian-white hostilities, Fr. Joset has received considerable biographical attention and several of these secondary sources are included in his Papers. Joset was also an active, lucid correspondent, in part because of his varied administrative responsibilities. Many of Joset's reports were circulated internationally in various Jesuit publications. Some of Joset's personal correspondence contain responses to requests for autobiographical accounts, but like many of his contemporaries he seemed to embrace the great distance from his former life and did not try to maintain regular social contact with his old friends and family in Europe. Like those of his eminent younger companion, Fr. Cataldo, Joset's Papers include a considerable number of memoir accounts of the history of the Jesuit Rocky Mountain Mission. But Joset's writings also include a wider range of subjects, such as ethnohistorical studies, biographies of fellow Jesuits and histories of the 1858 and 1877 Indian Wars. Some material specifically related to Joset's role as mediator in 1858 have been consolidated into a series entitled "Special Endeavors."
