The novel is based on the life of French priest, Jean-Baptiste Lamy (1814-1888), a pioneer Catholic prelate in the American Southwest. He established a flourishing diocese and became the first archbishop of the Santa Fe Province. The capture of the Southwest by the United States in the Mexican–American War is the catalyst for the plot.
