1341. A History of the Catholic Church in the United States, by Thomas T. McAvoy, C.S.C. (17 June 1975) I found this an exceptionally interesting book, especially the part which covers the years 1880 to 1910. Those are the years the author knows best, being the subject of his excellent book, The Great Crisis in American Catholic History 1895-1900 (which I read 30 Sept 1961 and which won my Best Book Read award for that year).
