| Summary |
"The Life and Times of Kateri Tekakwitha, the Lily of the Mohawks" by Ellen H. Walworth is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the life of Kateri Tekakwitha, an Indian girl who grew up among the Mohawks during the 17th century and became a significant figure due to her conversion to Christianity. It explores her experiences, the cultural context of her time, and her impact on her community as a symbol of faith and resilience. The opening portion of the work introduces Kateri Tekakwitha's early life in the Mohawk Valley, detailing the natural beauty of her surroundings, including a spring that bears her name. It sets the stage for her journey through descriptions of her community, the challenges faced by her family, including the impact of diseases like smallpox, and the broader social and cultural dynamics of the Mohawks during her lifetime. The narrative begins to outline the context of Kateri's upbringing, her family background, and the influences that shaped her character, foreshadowing her future role as a pivotal religious figure.
