Priest on Horseback by Eva K. Betz

Priest on Horseback is an exciting children’s historical novel highlighting the story of the then famous Father Farmer’s life and experiences in colonial America. The story starts in New Jersey where the priest encounters much danger and excitement while riding circuit, providing Mass and the sacraments to people who had not heard Mass for years, unimaginable to us who have the Mass so much more available to us today. Throughout the tale Father Farmer also faces many adventures helping a man named Sebastian solve the problems caused by his fiancée being sold as an indentured servant. The entire story gives a very accurate and fascinating picture of colonial life, and of a devoted priest who was famous in his lifetime for his learning, his wisdom and his goodness.
