An American abbot

by Jerome Oetgen

This volume is a newly revised and expanded version of An American Abbot, the biography of Boniface Wimmer, O.S.B., published twenty years ago by the Archabbey Press. In preparing this edition, Jerome Oetgen has thoroughly reexamined the primary sources, added material from additional sources, and taken into account the results of scholarly research on American Catholic and Benedictine history published since 1976.
