More about the book
Focusing on Urbain Monsimer, this biography offers a fresh perspective on the early years of the University of Notre Dame, contrasting the dominant narrative centered on Edward Sorin. Monsimer, a complex figure marked by intelligence and self-criticism, emigrated to America at 15, quickly adapting to his new environment. His journey took him from Notre Dame to a misguided gold-seeking venture in California, where he ultimately became a miner. Health issues later led him back to France, where he passed away in 1860.
