Excerpt from Sketches of the Life, Times, and Character of the Rt. Rev. Benedict Joseph Flaget, First Bishop of Louisville Yet the annals of our Church should be written some day or another; and the longer the work will be de layed, the more difficult will it become. Already all of our first Bishops, and all of our earliest missionary priests, - with a single exception, - have descended to the tomb. In this condition of things, the time seems opportune, for gathering up the fragments, lest they be lost. This is what has been attempted, to a certain extent, for our Western missions, in the following Sketches. Besides being a willing labor of filial piety, they are intended, - not, indeed, fully to meet a want which has been long felt, - but to make an essay in that direction. The life of Bishop Flaget is identified with the early his tory of the Catholic Church in the West and South, for a period of more than forty years. The first Bishop who came to the West, he labored here for several years alone, and he lived to see eleven new Dioceses including an Apostolic Vicariate - springing up within the limits of the vast territory, either comprised in his original Diocese, or placed for some time under his episcopal supervision. Two of these became, before his death, archbishoprics nor was he at all displeased, to behold the glory of the mother-see thus paling be fore that of her younger, but more favored daughters.
